NTSB: Planes clipped wings
BY JON NEWBERRY AND PEGGY O’FARRELL | ,

SHARONVILLE – A witness told federal investigators that she saw
two small aircraft clip wings before spiraling to the ground in a
collision that left three Greater Cincinnati men dead, an
investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board said
today.

Ed Malinowski told reporters that the planes were traveling in
opposite directions when they hit.

Killed were Niels Harpsoe, 64, of West Chester, pilot of a
Beechcraft Bonanza V35B that crashed on East Kemper Road west of
Reed Hartman Highway; as well as Edward L. Hitchens, 65, of Symmes
Township, and David Woeste Jr., 31, of Anderson Township, who were
in a Cessna Skyhawk that crashed at 5862 Squire Hill Court.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s office is conduct autopsies today on
the three victims.


• David Woeste was father of four

• Edward Hitchens was "mayor of the block"

• Friends remember Niels Harpsoe

Malinowski confirmed that the Cessna was carrying a flight
instructor and student and that the plane featured dual controls.

Hitchens was described as a veteran flight instructor. It is not
known which man was in control of the Cessna.

Federal investigators and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are
gathering clues on the crash.

Malinowski said it will be a few days before investigators can
look at radar reports from a nearby airport, if any such reports
are available.

Investigators want to know the direction and speed at which the
two planes were flying, he said.

Right now, Malinowski said, investigators are focusing on
gathering perishable evidence from the two crash sites.
