Cowboys take first plane trip since fatal crash By Doug Alden The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — One day after an emotional win in Oklahoma State’s first game since a plane crash killed 10 people, the Cow boys boarded a plane again. All three planes carrying play ers, coaches and staff arrived safe ly Tuesday evening in Lincoln on Oklahoma State’s first road trip since the Jan. 27 crash that killed two players and eight other mem bers of the traveling party. The team left Stillwater, Okla., late in the afternoon aboard three corporate jets. The original plan was to take two jets and a Beechcraft King Air — the kind of plane that crashed late last month while returning from Colorado — but coach Eddie Sutton said a friend of the program came for ward Tuesday and provided a third jet. The players who arrived on the first two planes were ushered away from waiting media at the Lincoln Municipal Airport by Ok lahoma State staff and not allowed to talk. “We just felt it would be better this way,” said Tom Dirato, radio and television coordinator for the school. “It just didn’t serve any purpose to have to live this over and over again,” he said. “We’re trying hard to heal and every time this comes back up, it sets us back a little.” Sutton’s plane took off later than planned because Cowboy forward Andre Williams had car trouble and was delayed in getting to the airport. Players Victor Williams, Fredrik Jonzen and Maurice Baker also flew on Sutton’s plane. Members of a support group called the Spurs, who act as host esses for the basketball program, gave small gifts to the players as they arrived at the Stillwater air port. The players wore black warm-up suits and were quiet as they boarded the jets. Reserve center Jack Marlow car ried an Indian symbol called a Dreamcatcher, a round hoop with weavings and hanging feathers. Another player, Jason Keep, walked around the front end of the first plane and looked the plane over before getting on board. The Spurs applauded Sutton as he arrived with his wife, Patsy. He shook hands with the pilot and co pilot and got on board. A man and a young woman prayed together on the patio area where people can watch the planes take off and ar rive. Sutton said he and athletic de partment officials were still work ing to secure larger charter planes for remaining road games. Sutton called the NBA on Monday, trying to get access to one of the league’s planes, but all of them were in use. “The only one we could find seats 127 passengers, and I didn’t think we could take that many people to Lincoln,” Sutton said. On Tuesday, he called the presi dent of Ozark Airlines, the compa ny used by Missouri’s basketball team. “I gave them our dates, and he’s going to see if there’s any way he can help us out,” Sutton said. The Cowboys played their first game since the crash Monday night, beating Missouri 69-66. Af ter the game Sutton and his play ers cried in celebration. Nebraska coach Barry Collier ex pected more emotions Wednesday. “Every time the thought of their team comes to mind I think of the tragedy first. I can only imagine what they’re going through,” Col lier said. Three days after the crash, Williams said it would probably be awhile before any of the players wanted to get on a small plane. But Sutton said Monday night that the players opted to fly on the small jets as opposed to taking a bus, which he said he would have done if they wished. “They all thought that 55 min utes (by plane) sounds better than eight hours, so all of them were OK with it,” he said. Jonzen, whose roommate Nate Fleming was among those killed, said last week that the crash was “a tragic accident” that shouldn’t deter the team from continuing to travel as it always has. “Even though it’s going to be tough right now to get on a plane, you still have to remember acci dents can happen any day,” he said. “They can be in a car, in a plane, whatever.” Call (541) 3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today.
