A pilot of a single-engine plane died this afternoon after taking off from Schaumburg Regional Airport and nose-diving back into the ground, police said.
Sgt. John Nebl said the pilot was a man in his 60s, but would not identify him because his family had not been notified. He was the sole occupant of the two-seater Luscombe plane, Nebl said.
The plane took off just after 3:30 and was airborne before crashing into a grassy area adjacent to the airport, police said.
