He started out earlier in the day from Milton, Ontario making a stop in Erie, PA then departing Mount Sterling, KY at 19:19 before crashing around 19:45 while attempting to make John Tune near Nashville.

A pilot can be overheard on ATC saying: "keep flying that airplane."

Unfortunately, he did not.

An eyewitness (often an unreliable source) is quoted: "I saw an airplane essentially crash out of the sky, fall out of the sky, and hit the ground at around a 45-degree angle," Wiser said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.

Looks like the plane was based at Brampton Airport. Registered to the owner since July 2023. Sad to hear it turned tragic especially when he flew directly over Tune at 2500'.
