The identities of the deceased passengers, who were reportedly involved in a Father’s Day event at the Yanks Air Museum, were not immediately revealed.

Turner mentioned that it is too early to determine the cause of the crash, but fire was involved.

Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the NTSB will be investigating the incident, the agencies confirmed.
