The second article has the following relevant information:
Police and law enforcement sources said the two brothers suspected in the Boston hijackings were Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari, who up until recent days had lived in Vero Beach, Florida. Both of their homes have been searched, the sources said.
Roger Boromei, 31, of Jewelweed Court, was flying a twin-engine Piper Aztec owned by a family friend, according to Mark Weinberg, a spokesman for the St. Lucie County, Fla., sheriff's department. Mr. Boromei started his trip at an airport in Okeechobee, Fla., where his father lives, Mr. Weinberg said.
The other man killed in the crash was Ameer Bukhari, a Saudi Arabian national living in nearby Vero Beach, Fla., Mr. Weinberg said. He was flying a single-engine Piper Cherokee owned by FlightSafety International, where he was a student pilot.
It might have been Mr. Bukhari's first solo flight, the Port St. Lucie News reported.
Mr. Boromei, on the other hand, was a first officer or co-pilot for DC-9s at Airborne Express, Beth Huber, a spokeswoman there, confirmed Tuesday. The Wilmington, Ohio-based company ships cargo nationwide.
The collision between the planes took place about two miles west of St. Lucie International Airport, Mr. Weinberg said.
