I heard it come down. Didn't see it, just heard it.
I heard the pilot ran out of gas.
Randy, I understand that the plane was registered to a popular real estate executive from Palos Verdes area. I worked with him back in the 1970's.
Thanks for not publishing the name of the victim until it is officially released by the Coroner in Orange County.
This is a tremendous loss for those who knew him.
