NTSB Probes Bowie Plane Crash That Killed Three During Training Flight

Three people were killed when a single-engine Piper Cherokee crashed in the woods off Scarlet Oak Terrace in Bowie, Maryland, late Saturday. The victims are pilot Yoav Bomrind (26, Israel) and passengers David Rabinovitz (19, Israel) and Elad Naidik (20, Canada). The aircraft, likely a training flight from Ocean City, NJ to Montgomery County Airpark, was found around 3:45 a.m. Sunday after an iPhone crash alert triggered a large search. The NTSB is leading the investigation, reviewing maintenance history, weather, air-traffic communications, and the pilot’s records.
