Jeeze...I figured it had to be a family/friends flying down for graduation when they announced the destination this morning. Feel awful for the son and the family

P32R isn't Cessna small, but it is single engine.
No words to describe this. Sounds like the pilot did a good job avoiding ground casualties in that area.
Terrible accident.

Thoughts and prayers to the family, especially to the graduate, going from one of the happiest moments in life to the absolute worst.

Size of a Cessna 206.
Awful, disgusting thing to happen. Also for the truck driver that the plane clipped. He tried to help.

Col Reb is crying for a different reason tonight.
Very sorry. When I heard this plane was going to Oxford, I knew this had to be graduation related.
