Two Scott City men were killed Thursday night when they plane crashed in Grant County.

Daniel Dunn, 68, and Michael Steele, 64, took off in a 1970 Beech aircraft from Ulysses heading for Scott City, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.

At some point, the men tried to make it back to Ulysses, but the plane crashed just after 9 p.m. It landed near Kansas 25 and 7 Road. Investigators aren’t sure if the plane had a mechanical issue.

Both men died at the scene.
