OKLAHOMA CITY -- A worker for an aviation company at Wiley Post Airport died after being struck by a plane's propeller, authorities said.

Oklahoma City police Sgt. Gary Knight said the incident happened about 2:30 a.m. Thursday while the man was attempting to place a wheel stop in front of the plane.

The man's name wasn't released, but he was an employee of Atlantic Aviation.



A spokeswoman for the company refused to comment on the incident.

The man was taken to OU Medical Center in critical condition and died a short time later.

1. Used to go out to Wiley Post as a kid to watch the planes

My mom would take us...late 1950s-early '60s.
they had those in-the-wall vending machines that had actual people behind them putting fresh food, such as sandwiches, pie slices, fruit and cartoned drinks, on the rotating shelves. That totally fascinated me.

My grandfather was friends with Wiley. He used to fly him places.
