And people want flying cars? 😒
@Icediva14 what a dumb thing to say
2 people are dead. 1 man but the other was too burned to tell. RIP
@Matisse68 So sad! 🥺 RIP 🙏🏼
From the flight tracking it appears that the fight was doing pattern work . Most likely touch and go training ( building hours) it appears that they were trying to return right after departure. This is a critical time of flight when rapid decisions have to be made in the event of an engine failure. God Speed aviators
@Catman2121 bummer, it makes sense that the plane burst in flames then because it likely had an almost full fuel tank…
Oh wow, another one? How sad. It was on fire and they couldn’t identify if the passenger was a male or female. :( Pilot was male but I missed the first part & idk if he made it. I’m kind of assuming he didn’t.
