A man fulfilling his bucket list was one of the seven people killed when a World War II plane crashed at Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut.
Debra Riddell, who was at the airport to watch, said her husband was texting her from the plane before takeoff. Mazzone served the Vernon Police Department for 22 years before retiring in 1998, said Meier. He then worked as an inspector within the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice, from which he retired in January.
Melton was previously in the Army and Air Force, where he was an aviation mechanic, and was now working on the vintage plane, Boykin told ABC News. "Ten seconds after, maybe less than that, it disappeared, big puff of smoke, and it did crash," he said.
