Robert Munson, 38, and Zachary Cook, 17, both of Altus, were pronounced dead at the scene by the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office after a small aircraft crashed and caught fire about a mile west of the municipal airport late Sunday morning, Nov. 8.

The 2001 Skybolt experimental aircraft, being flown by Munson, took off from Quartz Mountain Regional Airport about 11:19 a.m. and the accident was reported about 10 minutes later.

Witnesses say that Munson was giving rides to family and friends when the accident happened.

The Federal Aviation Administration has taken over the investigation.
