MONROE — The two men killed in a Monday, Nov. 24 plane crash northeast of the city have been identified.

The victims were Brett D. Gelbach, 43, of Oshkosh and formerly of Monroe, and Eric A. Felix, 41, Omro. Gelbach’s obituary can be found in today’s newspaper edition on Page 4.

The two were flying in a 2003 Socata TBM 700, a single-engine turbo propeller plane that took off from Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh just after 4:40 p.m., bound for Monroe.

Heavy fog blanketed the area, making landing at the Monroe Municipal Airport an extremely difficult task. There was reportedly only a 300-foot overcast ceiling and 1/4 mile visibility. 

The plane crashed on its approached at 5:14 p.m. in a quarry directly north of Wis. 59 and adjacent to the airport.

“Emergency personnel located two individuals deceased on scene,” Green County Sheriff Cody Kanable said in a press release following the incident.

The crash is currently under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
