Default Fatal Crash in Fittstown, OK

On the nightly news "A little airplane crashed near Fittstown" (Fittstown is
near ADA,OK (ADH).)

The plane had two seats and one person was killed. The pilot was the only one on
board and was on his was to pickup his wife in Dallas. The airplane was an
antique aircraft. (That sure narrows it downs).

Witnesses stated "They heard the engine sputter just before the crash."
He crashed into a nearby abandoned house foundation and had a power line stuck
in the wing. He crashed across the road from his grass strip. (I did get part of
the number, it was 045.)

About a hour later a reporter happen said it was Cessna C37.

I found the ad where the pilot had listed the aircraft, a Cessna C37
for sale.
