Louisiana Parish Suffers Two Unrelated Accidents

T-28 and Piper Each Have One Fatality

NTSB investigators descended on the small town of Dry Prong in Grant Parish, Louisiana to investigate two unrelated fatal accidents that occurred within just a few miles and one day apart, this weekend.

Saturday evening, a T-28 Trojan, a popular warbird used by the Air Force for a few years, but by the Navy for nearly three decades, disappeared from radar Saturday night near Fort Polk, Louisiana. The Civil Air Patrol was dispatched and found the wreckage in a wooded area of Kisatchie National Forest the next evening with the pilot still inside. Dr. Sleiman Salibi was the only occupant of the 1954 military trainer, and was on a flight from St. Louis to his home in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Just an hour previous to the CAP discovery, pilot Jon Norman reported engine trouble in his small Piper. He was able to successfully touch down in a pasture near Dry Prong, but was unable to stop the plane before it hit some trees, killing one of his four passengers. The four survivors were injured and taken to local hospitals.
