A Cherokee with four persons on board when down just after take off from
Harrisburg Capital City Airport (my home base) Runway 26 earlier this
afternoon. Details are sketchy, at best. I just returned from the FBO at
that airport and folks there can say very little about this incident.
Here is a preliminary news report:

I'll post further details as they become available.

As promised, more information:
The downed plane was indeed a Cherokee (contradictory news reports
indicated that the plane was some type of Cessna). The plane was piloted
by Andrew Lee, a CFI from Tennessee with over 1300 hours in his
logbook. Again, conflicting news reports had stated that he died in the
hospital; Not so. He is in critical condition at the Allentown (PA) Burn
Center. His 50-year old wife, and two young daughters did not survive.
We are being told that the NTSB might issue a preliminary report by this
Friday.
