Her impact was evident after the crash...
I bet.........
What is it with flight instructors? We just had a flight instructor and passenger?learner die here near our small town.
What caused the crash? Pilot error? Mechanical failure?
Who was actually at the controls?

Auberry. I use to cruise out there and get lunch at the Foster Freeze. Nice little place in the foothills on the way to the mountains. Sad situation.
How many years is recent? I would want a flight instructor with a minimum 10 years as a pilot.
May the LORD have mercy on her, her deceased children, and her whole family; may her husband recover and heal.
murder suicide?
These guys on YouTube who do the crash debriefs have no shortage of crashes, geez. Poor family. RIP.
This is very sad and there is a mountain community that is mourning here just saw short drive up the hill from Fresno. Also very sad to see a (very few) joking posts.
Flying an older Gruman Tiger. Was at near gross weight with 4 on board. A family member of mine and pilot that lives at Sierra Sky Park witnessed the takeoff and crash. The Tiger rotated half way down the 2,400 foot runway and climbed to about 50 to 75 feet, but the engine can be heard to reduce rpm just passed half way down the runway. Not enough runway left to land and Sierra Sky Park runway ends with a down hill bluff going to the San Joaquin River. Plane struck trees and spun in on the downhill bluff. Rolled up into a burning mess. Sorry for the family and prayers for the two surviving older children not on the flight.
