39 years ago....a plane carrying KOSA TV Channel 7 employees returning from covering Permian and Midland Lee (Now Legacy) playoff games crashed on approach to Midland International Airport. There were no survivors. I was an engineer at Channel 7 at the time and remember it like it was yesterday.

Thanks for sharing. Grew up near there but was too young to remember and never heard about this.

Watched KOSA as a kid in Fort Stockton. Ed Costello and Jay Mahaffey. Was long gone when this happened but thanks for sharing. Didn't know this.

Grew up in Midland and played ball at Lee in the late '90s. Never knew about this. What a terrible tragedy.

Why'd they fly from Midland to Odessa? Aren't they right next to each other?

Let's go, Brandon!

Never heard about that crash. No cause? I wonder what the NTSB reported?

Well yeah, but they're not right next to DFW where the playoff games were.

I assumed you meant Permian was playing Lee. Now I realize they were both playing other teams, in the playoffs, in DFW.
