Aircraft manufacturer's CEO, mechanic killed in plane crash

OSHKOSH - An aircraft manufacturer says the company's chief executive and a mechanic were killed in a crash in one of its planes in eastern Wisconsin.

Sonex Aircraft says CEO Jeremy Monnett and assembly mechanic Mike Clark died Tuesday when their single-engine plane crashed near Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

Forty-year-old Jeremy Monnett is the son of Sonex founder, John Monnett, who told staff Wednesday that the company will continue operations "despite the holes left by Jeremy and Mike's absence."
