LEX 18 has learned more about the Iowa couple killed in a small plane crash in Western Kentucky last week.
Pilot Dominic Giametta, 69, and his 55-year-old wife, Dr. Dianne Giametta, died in a crash Friday near Hopkinsville.
Friends of the Giamettas told LEX 18 that the couple was well-known in the quad cities area.

Dr. Dianna Giametta was an OB-GYN. Co-workers told LEX 18 they were very upset to hear about her death and her patients said she was the kind of doctor a patient could look forward to seeing.
“She talked to you and made you feel almost like you were the only person there,” her patient Aimee Shumaker said.
The FAA is investigating the cause of the crash, and FAA officials say that weather or possible mechanical failure could have contributed to the crash.
