Crashing a mile from the airport sounds like pilot error. Crashing a mile from the airport and 15 minutes into the flight (if both statements are true) sounds like mechanical failure, where the pilot tried for an emergency landing and didn’t make it. Obviously, more information is required to understand what really happened. In any case, it’s a sad loss.
It happened across the street from the airport at the end of the runway. It looks like it barely got off the ground before it crashed.
