Transplant flight crash

Tragic:

Six members of the U-M Survival Flight Team were on board the Cessna Citation 550 when it went into Lake Michigan at 5:05 p.m. Detroit time en route to Willow Run Airport from Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport . . .

. . . Dr. David Ashburn, a physician-in-training in pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, was onboard, along with Dr. Martinus Spoor, a cardiac surgeon, transplant donation specialists Richard Chenault II and Rick LaPensee and Marlin Air pilots Dennis Hoyes and Bill Serra.

They were transporting a donor organ for a patient who was awaiting a transplant at U-M.
