    Default Plane crash in Lafayette

    Happened about 11:30 this morning. Crashed on takeoff near Oakbourne. One person killed. I think only one was aboard.

    Crashed near the entrance to Oakbourne country club. Looks like it crashed on the driving range.

    I saw that. Sometimes they miss private plane info. I haven't been able to find ADSB info on the flight. I know the pilot. Very experienced.

    Looks like the crash is on the 18th fairway, at the dogleg near the grouping of live oaks and the maintenance building. Word is the guy flying did not make it. Big Ragin Cajun supporter. Prayers for him and his family.

    I heard it was Greg Manual of Manual Builders. Is that correct?

    I apologize Slick, I heard that, but did not want to run my mouth about something I was not sure about.

    I am quite sure about the location of the crash site from a few videos I viewed, so I just wanted to clear that up.
