Barnes Airfield, west of Rosamond late Saturday afternoon resulted in the death of two men, Arthur J. Tackett, 36, 44058 Beech Ave., Lancaster and James V.

Both men were employed by General Electric at Palmdale. The bodies were removed to Turner Funeral Home in Mojave and funeral arrangements were taken care of later. Kern County Coroner Stan Newman, Deputy Coroner Richard Gervais and Deputy Sgt. Art Cross said preliminary investigation indicated pilot error.
