RCMP say a pilot has died in plane crash in central Alberta.
No one else was on board the small biplane that went down in a field in the town of Blackfalds, north of Red Deer.
Mounties say that witnesses believe the plane was having engine trouble after it left the Lacombe airport.
The pilot was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesman with the Transportation Safety Board says the plane was an amateur-built aircraft known as a Steen Skybolt.
Investigators were on their way to examine the crash site.
