Fatal plane crash of Super Bowl winner Russ Francis attributed to loss of power
Former NFL tight end Russ Francis and another man were killed in a plane crash in New York state after the craft’s engine lost power, according to a federal investigator. Francis, 70, and Richard McSpadden, 63, had taken off from Lake Placid Airport in a single-engine Cessna 177 when the plane encountered trouble. The plane attempted to turn back to the airport but hit a berm at the end of the runway and fell into a ravine. Francis, a veteran pilot, played in the NFL for the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers before retiring.
