Authorities said the plane was a restored Korean War-era F-86 Sabre jet military aircraft. The single-seat plane broke in two and its ejection seat wasn't used, officials said.

The aircraft was on its way to an Experimental Aircraft Association air show in Oshkosh, Wis., when the crash occurred. Friends said during the past two months extensive work had been done on the plane to get it ready for the air show.

The pilot/owner of this plane was Wyatt Fuller. He was the only person on board.
