Update:

An Oshkosh aviation company is mourning the loss of the victims of a plane crash in Oshkosh. Sonex Aircraft C-E-O Jeremy Monnett and assembly mechanic Mike Clark were killed on Tuesday when their small yellow plane went down beyond the end of a runway. Mark Schaible is the general manager of Sonex. Monnett was 40 years old and Clark was 20. Schaible says he was in awe of Monnett’s energy and enthusiasm for whatever he was involved in. He says Clark joined the company about a year ago. They were in a Sonex plane and the company says it made a cross-country flight to Florida earlier this year. Company founder John Monnett says Sonex Aircraft will continue to operate, despite the loss of 40-year-old Jeremy Monnett and the 20-year-old Clark. He says it would be Jeremy’s wish to carry on.
