Small plane crashes, killing at least one

A 54-year-old Bakersfield man died when a small kit plane crashed near
Arvin Saturday morning.
Jasbir Singh Mallian, the pilot, died at the scene, according to a Kern
County coroner's office news release.
Witnesses heard the plane go down hard and fast at 9:45 a.m. southeast
of Bakersfield in a vineyard just northwest of Comanche Drive and Sunset
Boulevard, Kern County Sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Smithson said at the crash
site.
The plane was registered to Mallian. No one answered the door at the
Bakersfield address to which the plane is registered.
The plane -- a home-built type of aircraft called a Harmon Rocket II
that the FAA classifies as experimental -- could carry two people. But
officials believe only the pilot was aboard, said Mike Fergus, a
spokesman for Federal Aviation Administration.
Home-built aircraft such as the Harmon are assembled from kits that are
certified by the FAA, Fergus said. The plane was certified to be flown,
he said.
The NTSB is investigating the cause of Saturday's accident with help
from the FAA. Authorities also are investigating where the airplane took
off and was going.
The Sheriff's Department and firefighters responded to the crash, but
rescuers could not immediately make out the plane's tail number, because
the plane was "just a pile," Smithson said.
Jenio Tapia lives with his family in one of five houses that line a dirt
road near the crash site.
Tapia said he was at baseball tryouts with his two sons when he got a
call from his wife who told him "don't get scared if someone says
there's a lot of cops and ambulances and stuff."
She told him something happened in one of the neighboring fields but
that their family was fine.
Tapia added she said a prayer.
