"A World War II-era U.S. Navy plane crashed Wednesday near Buckley, killing the pilot and passenger who were friends and who had recently exchanged ownership of the craft.

The men were James Robert Cawley, 62, and Rodney John Richardson, 72, the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said the men both lived in the Buckley area."
