DELAWARE, Ohio - A spokesman for the city of Delaware says officials there will proceed under the assumption that City Council member Jim Moore was the pilot who was killed in a plane crash Wednesday afternoon, though positive identification has not been made yet.
The Delaware County Coroner's office is using dental records to identify the body which was badly burned, so the process may take a couple of days, city spokesman Lee Yoakum said.
A meeting of council's Finance Committee scheduled for Thursday night has been postponed because Moore, 66, was one of the three members of panel, Yoakum said.
The pilot was the only person aboard the plane when it crashed near the Delaware County Airport around 1:40 Wednesday afternoon, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
The Patrol and the FAA were investigating the crash, which happened as the single-engine 2007 Gobasch G-700S was banking west to make an approach to the airport, the Patrol said.
The plane stalled, hit the ground and went airborne before hitting a tree and coming to rest, nose down, in a soybean field near the intersection of US route 42 and London Road.
