The Beechcraft Baron 58 went down shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday in a marshy area at an almond orchard near Galt, south of Sacramento, Sacramento County authorities said.
Two men were pronounced dead at the scene. The county coroner’s office identified them as Kenneth Mueller, 56, of El Dorado Hills and 68-year-old Richard Conte of Orangevale.
Mueller was the chief financial officer and Conte the chief pilot for Raley’s Supermarkets, a West Sacramento-based chain with 128 stores in Northern California and Nevada under various brands.The flight wasn’t on company business, Raley’s spokeswoman Chelsea Minor told the Sacramento Bee. She said Mueller had been with the company for 25 years. Conte had been the firm’s chief pilot for eight years.
The plane went down less than 20 minutes after taking off from Tracy Municipal Airport and had made previous stops at San Andreas and Modesto before the last flight, the Bee reported, citing flight tracking service FlightAware.
