Crashed in a blinding snow storm. The Cessna 310 took off from Totowa-Wayne Airport at noon Saturday with Katstra, an experienced charter pilot at the controls. Although Katstra had been hired to fly the plan by Petruska, Sr. Michael, Jr., was also licensed. Pairo, an electrical contractor who was currently working on Gregory Manor, a Petruska development on Passaic Avenue, Clifton, NJ had apparently gone along for the ride.
