FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — A plane crashed Monday afternoon in Forsyth County just outside of Kernersville.
Forsyth EMS confirmed the report of a small aircraft down, a Beech BE36, in the vicinity of Hwy. 66 and U.S. 311, in or near the Vulcan Materials East Forsyth Quarry.
“It immediately went up in flames,” said John McCollum, a telecommunicator with Forsyth County EMS, told the News & Record.
The crash happened about 12:10 p.m. about seven miles southwest of the Piedmont Triad International Airport, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) official said.
The pilot of the aircraft tried to make contact with the tower at PTI minutes prior to the crash, according to PTI Executive Director Kevin Baker.
Witness describes Forsyth County plane crash; 3 victims identified
FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. -- FOX8 has learned more about the last moments of the flight of a Beechcraft A36 which crashed in Forsyth County on Monday.
The three people in the plane all died, officials say. They are now identified as Michael and Christy Apfelbaum, and Christy’s father, Clarence Imgrund; all of Pennsylvania.
The family had been flying from Sarasota, Florida to Piedmont Triad International Airport. PTI Executive Director Kevin Baker said the pilot tried to make contact with the tower at PTI just minutes before the crash.
Meanwhile, witnesses watched from the ground as the plane began to lose control.
“I noticed the airplane was flying rather low, and the wings were kind of going left and right,” said Beverly Sells, who was driving when she noticed the aircraft. “I actually thought that maybe they were performing some kind of stunt practice. But, then I thought, they’re flying awful low to be doing those kinds of stunts.”
Sells says the aircraft then began to spin, which resulted in a further loss of altitude.
“When I saw it twirling nose first, down, I realized then that it wasn't a stunt. It was crashing. It was real life,” Sells said.
It was only moments later when the plane went down, in the vicinity of N.C. 66 and U.S. 311, in or near the Vulcan Materials East Forsyth Quarry.
“I could not see the actual impact because it went behind the trees, but I did hear the loud boom,” Sells said.

LCSO is heading this investigation.
They say the plane crashed around 10:00 a.m. just after taking off. Investigators say shortly after the plane took off from the Creswell airport, the pilot radioed that they were having engine problems and was going to turn back. That's when investigators say the plane crashed in a field just to the side of the runway.
The FAA and NTSB are also investigating to determine whether an engine problem is the cause of the crash.
"The FAA and the NTSB are the ones that actually determine that but it appears that they had some kind of mechanical failure and that's what caused the crash," said Lt. Chris Doyle with LCSO.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and everybody else because it's horrible when anybody loses a life," said Robyn Thomas, a Cottage Grove resident who came out to see the scene.
Other pilots showed up to the airport Monday afternoon and say the flying community is tight-knit, so this is impacting them all.

Morris County Pilot Killed in Plane Crash at Somerset Airport
September 10, 2015
The pilot of a small plane was killed when his aircraft crash landed a quarter mile off the runway at the Somerset County airport, Bedminster Township Police Chief Craig Meyer said.
The plane went missing after it departed at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday night, the Federal Aviation Administration told Patch. A missing persons report came to the Bedminster Township police at 9 a.m. Thursday morning and said an aircraft was likely involved, Meyer said.
A Lake LA-4-250 single engine aircraft departed at 9:45 p.m. on Sept. 8, the FAA said. At 1 p.m. Thursday, the FAA said the aircraft, a single-engine, four-seater Lake LA-4-250 was found at the airport.
“Local authorities will release the number of people on board, their names and conditions, the FAA will release the aircraft registration after that. The FAA will investigate, and the National Transportation Safety Board will determine probable cause,” the FAA said in a statement.
While the FAA wouldn’t confirm who the pilot was, a source close to the investigation told Patch that Philip Clements, of Chester Township, was in fact the pilot. Meyer said the pilot was a Chester Township resident, age 62, but would not confirm it was Clements.
As of 2 p.m., the Somerset County Airport was closed after a New Jersey State Police helicopter found the aircraft off the end of the runway crashed in trees, a source told Patch. Fire, first aid and rescue squads, along with the New Jersey State Police were on the scene, the source said.
