Pilot Alan D. Purwin was one of the people killed, said Jack Snyder, an executive at Helinet Aviation, which owned the plane.
The plane, described as a twin-engine Aerostar, went down in bad weather shortly after takeoff on a flight from Santa Fe de Antioquia to Medellin, according to the Associated Press.
The crew members had just wrapped up work on the new film "Mena," Universal Pictures said in a statement.

RIP Mr. Purwin. May God welcome you home.
Prayers for the love of Christ and comfort of the Holy Ghost for the family and those affected.
Another example of how tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and you just never know.
Takeoff is optional.
Landing is mandatory.
Here endeth the lesson.
Clintoncides continue?
It goes with the territory..probably the most famous movie pilot death was Paul Mantz in the making of the original “Flight of the Phoenix”
Second pilot to die in a Tom Cruise film.
Goose was the first?
GTMA. I’ll bet a lot of people forgot about that.
What a shame.
Medellin ping.
Wonder who they got to play Bush and Clinton in that film?
Mena is an upcoming thriller film directed by Doug Liman and written by Gary Spinelli, about the life of Barry Seal, a former TWA pilot who became a drug smuggler in the 1980s and who was recruited later on by the DEA to provide intelligence. Wikipedia
They are shooting a movie about Mena Arkansas.. Barry Seal, which would touch people that are very sensitive to publicity.
The first was Art Scholl and his dog Aileron, killed in California during the filming of “Top Gun.”
I remember seeing Art Scholl perform at air shows years ago when I lived in California.
Depends. IMDB has George W. Bush and Oliver North on the characters' list, but not Clinton. Wikipedia says Brian Dennehy plays Clinton (which doesn't sound right age-wise).
Doug Limon, the director, is the son of Arthur Limon, the Democratic Counsel in the Iran Contra investigation, so it's probably more of an anti-Bush than an anti-Clinton movie.
You can google "Barry Seal" for more and his allegations about the Bush brothers. It sounds like the movie was set up to attack Jeb Bush, who the film makers may have figured would be the Republican nominee.
Mena— the joining point of commonality of the Clintons and the Bush money laundering and “company” connex.
It leads to : Webb Hubbell, Bill Clinton’s nose, his brother’s nose, the Rodham brothers (both fat nose candy lovers), Rose Law Firm, Whitewater funny money, the Stephens bank “drop box” for cash payments of “mortgages” from the “field drops” of the returning planes— just for starters. The “parking meter” company of Webb Hubbell’s that refurbished and shipped M-16s— located at the Mena airport “trade zone”. And finally— ALL of the Clinton murders swirl around the powder monkeys.
Eugene Hasenfus (the loader/pusher in the C130), Pablo Escobar and the Shining Path maoists.
This film doesn’t discuss the Clintons— and the Bushes.. it is worthless.
Fine by me Bushes=Clintons.....I want neither.
Goose wasn’t a pilot.
He was the RIO.
