AVIATION PING!...................
I really hope the pilot wasn’t heard on the radio yelling allahua ackbar. That always makes it harder for authorities to determine the cause.
I didn’t realize that Boeing made light aircraft...
LOL!...................

Clearly some sort of engine trouble, so no need for your Muslim reference.
Imagine going about your work day in the warehouse when a plane comes through the roof.
“Honey, you won’t believe what happened at work today!”
Makes sense. He had just taken off so probably had a full load of fuel.
“Attempted to return to airport”
Probably a classic case of engine problems after takeoff and stalled attempting to return to the runway.
A Kit aircraft. Probably some assembly problem.
“A Kit aircraft. Probably some assembly problem.”
Assembly problem? Vans are generally well built with important structural sections built at the factory. An engine problem is more likely, but who knows?
Prayers up for all involved.
It was the pilot and his 16 yr old daughter that was killed it’s not terrorist just a horrible accident
Check out this scene from The World According to Gorp. Pre-disaster house

LOL...great scene. I think I read the book in the 80s, but never saw the movie.
Looks like he had several 100’s of gallons of fuel on board.
Blowed up real good.
RIP. Hopefully those injured in the building will recover. There is so much light plane traffic over densely populated towns that it’s a miracle these types of hits on buildings are rare.
“The only general aviation airport in Orange County, Fullerton Municipal Airport”
Moron journalists. What about John Wayne airport? It’s in Newport Beach, Orange County. And yes general aviation can fly out of there.
Back in the day, when I was an active aviator, I ALWAYS had a plan in case I had an engine failure on or after takeoff.
Never had an engine failure on or shortly after takeoff during my 18 years of military and civilian flying, but I ALWAYS had a plan!
In this case, it looked to me like he could have landed on the roof of that building.
That this pilot did not was tragic. RIP.
