Media reports indicated that the two men traveled from Florida to Texas, then spent a night in Aurora before taking off Saturday heading for Denver in the Piper Aerostar 601P. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reporting that the plane is registered to ENS Corporation in Hollywood, Florida.
Route 47 was closed Saturday night during the investigation. One witness told the media that she heard loud engine noises before the crash.
