The death of a 90-year-old Iowa pilot in a small plane crash two years ago was likely due to his decision to let his large dog fly next to him in the passenger seat of his two-seater plane, federal authorities announced earlier this week.
Jerry Naylor, from Scotch Grove, Iowa, was attempting to land a single-engine two-seater plane when he crashed into a cornfield next to the runway at Monticello Regional Airport in Iowa on July 1, 2017.
