OAKLEY, Calif.

Stephen Allen died after his plane clipped the tower and went down on Jan. 10 near Oakley.

If the 198-foot tower were just two feet taller, the FAA would have required orange and white stripes and lighting.

The tower was placed there to study whether the location was a good place for wind turbines.
