Initial findings on deadly Hampton airplane crash highlight absent plug

The investigation into the tragic plane crash at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton has honed in on a loose plug on a wing as a potential factor contributing to the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board has issued a preliminary report on the crash that claimed the life of pilot Rob Holland. Witnesses noted the aircraft's erratic behavior before it crashed close to the runway. While the plane's major components were found at the site, a dislodged counterweight used for aerobatics was highlighted. The final report determining the crash cause is expected to take a year. You can read the initial NTSB report below for further details.
