Pilot dies in plane crash near Hamilton County airport
 COLLEGEDALE -- The Federal Aviation Administration investigated
 the site Sunday where a small plane crashed in Hamilton County,
 killing the pilot.
 Donnie Crook was trying to land his experimental plane Saturday
 night when the plane sheared a tree limb near a house. The plane
 struck pavement and careened through a 200-foot clearing before
 stopping short of the runway at the Collegedale Municipal Airport,
 just east of Chattanooga.
 It wasn't immediately known what kind of a plane Crook was flying,
 but it was believed to have been experimental and worth about
 $100,000. Crook reported losing power just before the crash.
