His attorney says he’s unaccounted for. It was, in all likelihood, James Horner flying the plane.
“Braveheart”, “Field of Dreams”, “Glory”... just to name a few. This is one of the great film composers of the modern era.

Yes he did. What a great loss to such beautiful music he wrote for many great films of our time.
This man created very beautiful music... if he is the one that perished in the crash then we all have lost something wonderful. :-(
Capable aircraft with good safety record. Too bad.

That was beautiful.
