The NTSB identified the aircraft as a Beech C23 (tail number N76SB) that crashed on Sunday, according to a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Also known as a Sundowner, the Beech C23 is a four-seat aircraft that started flying in the 1970s. The Beech C23 that crashed on Sunday was manufactured in 1975.
The aircraft departed Warrenton-Fauquier Airport at approximately 1:08 p.m. EST and performed a local flight. The aircraft returned to land at about 3:50 p.m.
Several news reports indicate the aircraft crashed during landing after striking a few trees and burst into flames killing the pilot.
Federal Aviation Administration records show the plane is registered
with Dr. Simmie A. Adams of Bealton, Va. It has been confirmed that Dr. Adams was the pilot on Sunday and the only one aboard the plane. Adams died on the scene.
The website Aircraft.com shows N76SB was up for sale with an
asking price of $126,500. The listing is undated.
The aircraft is also featured in a YouTube video uploaded by horsemoney in January 2023.
