KEARNEY, Mo. (AP/KAKE) — A pilot died Thursday after a small plane (N200RA) crashed into a field in western Missouri. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said a 911 caller reported the crash at 9:37 a.m. First responders found the plane engulfed in flames in a soybean field near Kearney, a town 25 miles northeast of Kansas City. The pilot was identified as 79-year-old of Valley Center. No one else was on the plane. The sheriff's office said the twin-engine Piper aircraft took off from a small airport near the crash site. The plane had just fueled up, and the 140 gallons of fuel on board contributed to the fire, the office said in a news release. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the accident
