Two Paso Robles men died Saturday morning when the single engine plane they had just taken off in crashed near Vineyard Drive.
John Warren, 66, was piloting the plane belonging to his passenger Robert Berg, 82. They were the only occupants of the plane that took off shortly after 10 a.m. from a private runway owned by Berg and his wife Donna.
Witnesses told investigators the plane banked to the right and then spiraled to the ground.
Both men died at the scene, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office said.
