He was returning the plane to the Danbury Flight School at DXR from
Nantucket (ACK). Drawing a straight line on a map from Nantucket to Danbury,
Madison and Killingworth are on the same line and Killingworth is 2-3 miles
closer to Danbury.

Griswold Airport (MPE) is in the same town where he went down
(Madison).Wonder how (specifically) the dislodged prop affected the
aerodynamics of the Warrior and his chances for a controllable glide.
(Student here, please be be kind!)

So...did it pop off and zing all that way ahead of the crash scene...or
drop
off before they dropped out of the air?

MADISON, Conn. -- The propeller from the plane that crashed into a house
on
Lovers Lane Monday night has been found a few miles away in Killingworth.

Police Chief Paul Jakubson said police received a call Wednesday from a
resident of Maple Hill Road in Killingworth, which is 2 to 3 miles from
the
crash site.


(added
The 1978 Piper Warrior smashed through tree branches before crashing into
the roof of a house.

Hanlon and Johnson, who were co-workers at the U.S. Post Office in
Brookfield, were flying from Nantucket to Danbury when Hanlon
radioed in a "mayday" shortly before 6 p.m. to report that the
engine had stopped working.
