A flying instructor and his student were killed Monday when a small
plane equipped with a safety parachute crashed northeast of Gen.
William J. Fox Airfield in Lancaster.

The two men, who authorities did not identify pending notification of
relatives, were practicing takeoffs and landings just before their
Cirrus SR20 aircraft went down at 1:42 p.m. in what Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Lt. William Hindman called "open desert" near Avenue F and
40th Street West.

The plane was registered to Todd Olson of Henderson, Nev., according
to the Federal Aviation Administration. Olson could not be reached for
comment...
