The pilot of small, private airplane was killed Saturday afternoon when his
plane crashed in a wooded area 21/2 miles northeast of Pulliam Airport.
John "Tony" Durizzi, 66, was piloting the single-engine plane and died in
the
crash, police said. There were no other passengers in the plane.

According to Flagstaff Police spokesman Gerry Blair, the pilot of the plane
told airport officials that he was trying to land at the airport but that
was
probably going to crash land somewhere between the Flagstaff Mall and the
airport. Airport officials then called Flagstaff police at 4:26 p.m.

Using the Department of Public Safety Search and Rescue helicopter and
Forest
Service air attack aircraft that were assigned to the Leroux Fire, officials
located the downed plane about 45 minutes later at 5:09 p.m.

The plane was found 21/2 miles northeast of the airport off Lone Tree Road,
Blair said. Flagstaff police have secured the crash site and are awaiting
the
arrival of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and
Federal Aviation Administration.

The crash didn't cause a fire, and police couldn't detect the smell of fuel
at the site.

"One possibility is that he ran out of gas," Blair said.

Blair said Durizzi was flying the plane on a cross-country flight. Durizzi
of
Bellevue, Wash., had left Ada, Okla., today and was flying to Flagstaff, the
next stop in his cross-country flight that was scheduled to end in Los
Angeles.
