The injured passenger was airlifted to Providence Medford Medical Center, Siskiyou County sheriff’s department spokeswoman Susan Gravenkamp said. Officials didn’t identify either of the people aboard the plane because families hadn’t been notified, she said. No other information about them was available. People began calling 911 around 3 p.m. to report a plane having mechanical problems, Gravenkamp said. Then callers reported that the plane had crashed near Black Mountain Road south of Hornbrook. Emergency crews went to area and found an old T-28B, single-engine, propeller-driven Navy trainer with two people aboard. The plane’s pilot was dead when crews arrived, Gravenkamp said.
