NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On November 25, 2004, at 1434 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 411, N747JU, impacted terrain shortly after departing from the Corona Municipal Airport, Corona, California. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot and one passenger sustained fatal injuries; the airplane was destroyed.
