An Eagles fan who raised more than $1,800 on GoFundMe to fly a “WE GOT DEMARCO” banner over the Cowboys practice today, got some very bad news, the pilot crashed the plane and died.
The Cowboys practice in a facility is located in Oxnard, CA.
“One person was killed Sunday when a single-engine plane crashed and burned during takeoff at Compton-Woodley Airport.
The plane, towing a banner, crashed at about 12:30 p.m. on a runway at the county-owned airport in the 900 block of West Alondra Boulevard, about two miles southwest of Compton’s central business district. Images from the scene showed the plane on fire, sending thick smoke over the airport.” h/t blacksportsonline
