NEW RUSSIA TOWNSHIP — Crews from Leiby Construction were out at the Lorain County Regional Airport this morning removing the wreckage of a plane that crashed Monday afternoon as it arrived from Florida. It was not immediately clear where the wreckage was being taken.

Investigators continued yesterday to sift through the wreckage of the airplane that crashed killing Vermilion inventor/businessman Donald Brown and his wife, Shirley, as well as the plane’s pilot and co-pilot.

The Mitsubishi MU-2B had no in-flight voice or data recorders, said Jim Silliman, an air safety investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, on Tuesday. A preliminary report on the crash will be issued in five to 10 days, he said, with the final report taking as long as a year.
