AINSWORTH, Neb. (AP) -- Authorities say a pilot killed in a northern Nebraska plane crash was from Wisconsin.

The plane took off Saturday morning from Ainsworth Regional Airport in Brown County. Authorities say the wreckage was found Saturday evening, just a few miles from the airport. The crash cause is being investigated.

Cook was alone in the plane.
