Small Plane Down in the Gulf

[kitlit]

A friend of a friend knew the occupants of the plane, and apparently witnessed it go down. If I understand correctly, one of the flyers had a daughter who is supposed to get married tomorrow. (Know that this is hearsay, but from a very reliable source). This is truly a tragic accident, and I'm praying for all involved.

Unfortunately it looks as though it was one of the regular flyers around here... I have a name but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post?

My thoughts are with you both. Rest in peace.

I wouldn't post names until it's released to the media by the officials. Public forum, and all that (just my opinion).

Probably best to let the authorities release the name. How awful would it be for friends or family to read it here. I had a deputy friend that heard his father's name dispatched as DOA one time by the agency he was en route to assist on the call. He was very shaken by the time he arrived. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Exactly why I didn't post the info- you can find out by reading comments on NWFdailynews.com if you're interested.

This is such a heart breaker. I got such a thrill watching these planes fly when I lived in Destin. Will keep their family in my prayers.

They have released the name of the pilot, but I'm not going to post it here, it's over on the NWFD site.
