Eads, Colo. –May 20, 2016 – On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 a fatal airplane crash occurred in Kiowa County.  The Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office has been informed it could take up to a year to complete the full investigation.  All media requests for further information will be handled by the NTSB Public Affairs Office at 202-314-6100.

On May 18 the Bent/Kiowa County Dispatch received a call just after 9:30 a.m. reporting that an aircraft had disappeared from radar in the vicinity of the Kansas/Colorado state line.  Multiple agencies responded to search for a downed aircraft including the Kiowa County Fire Department, ambulance crews, the Colorado State Patrol, and Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO).  Two F16 aircraft and a B1 Bomber were training in the area and also assisted in the search. The F16 and B1 Bomber pilots quickly located the crash site and lead rescue personal to the scene. 

A Cessna P210 was found west of County Road 71 approximately three miles north of Highway 96, in a field northeast of Sheridan Lake.  The pilot has been identified as John Lee Stubblefield, age 64, of Meridian, Idaho.  Stubblefield died in the crash.
