WV Pilot Dies After Ohio Crash

Mike Lakin of Charleston, a member of the National Guard who had recently returned from Iraq, died after he was injured in a plane crash around noon Thursday at the Union County Airport in central Ohio. Airport general manager Ed Rusch says Lakin was performing low-altitude aerobatics for an on-site examiner when his plane crashed just south of the airport's runway in Marysville.
