PASO ROBLES — A Los Angeles man has been identified as the pilot of a replica World War I-era biplane that crashed in a field on California’s central coast
The San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s office says Javier Fernando Arango, 54, died when the single-engine, open-cockpit plane went down shortly after takeoff from a private airfield Sunday. He was the only person aboard.
Sheriff’s photos show the plane on its side with broken wings and a crumpled front near Paso Robles, about 200 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Ian Gregor with the Federal Aviation Administration says it’s a replica Appleby Nieuport 28 from 1976.
