This is terrible and so sad.
It was a originally reported by an Eagles fan raised $1800 so a “WE GOT DEMARCO” would fly over the Cowboys practice today via Bleeding Green, but the pilot lost his life upon takeoff. It has now been confirmed it was not the pilot carrying the Eagles sign.
“One person was killed Sunday when a single-engine plane crashed and burned during takeoff at Compton-Woodley Airport.
The plane, towing a banner, crashed at about 12:30 p.m. on a runway at the county-owned airport in the 900 block of West Alondra Boulevard, about two miles southwest of Compton’s central business district. Images from the scene showed the plane on fire, sending thick smoke over the airport.”
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
