A small plane carrying six people, including Paulding County Commissioner Hal Echols and two prominent Paulding developers with ties to Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, crashed Friday morning in Mount Airy, N.C., killing everyone aboard.
The Beechcraft King Air C90A made at least one approach to the Mount Airy airport in rain and low visibility and "came in too high, then veered off and were coming back when they crashed," said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown.
