Just awful.

Was Greg a friend of Louisiana Athletics? Just curious.

Sit this one out

Had a friend on the fairway when it happened. Saw the video. Full fuel tanks, so you can imagine. Greg was known and loved by so many people. What's crazy is there were people on the course that knew him, but didn't know it was his plane til after.

The plane was a Beech craft G36 Bonanza. Not the V tail but in the family of aircraft known as "Doctor Killer". A family of aircraft known for fatal crashes.
