Two Dead here in Georgia

Damn. Condolences to friends and family.
 
Another sad story,may they Rest In Peace.
 
We were flying when this happened. Heard all the news choppers etc going to the scene. Sad. I know a C23 owner from PDK, hope it's not him.

Gentleman's name is Shannon Ewing and the second person was a relative of his. Shannon was a Student Pilot since 2014 and had just gotten a renewed medical. Very sad for a family to lose two people at once.
 
I consider KWDR my home airport. I rent from there all the time. So sad to hear!
 
Second person identified as Henry Ewing, a nephew of Shannon. Henry shows as holding a CFI certificate since 12.31.2016. Obviously could be a renewal. Also held an ATP certificate.

R.I.P. to both of them. Hope they can figure out what happened.

We got a new pastor at church back in June (Methodists work that way). When I went to Shannon Ewing's FB page i see my pastor and his wife on his friends list. He went to the last church my pastor worked. Small world kind of stuff. I had to break the bad news to my pastor.

I flew over it yesterday. Everyone was using 31, the location (and the wreckage) suggests a stall on go-around/takeoff.

That was my SWAG as well. Either a departure stall or trying to come back after an engine out. Either way, from the location and the debris field, it does look like it was a stall/spin. Sucks regardless.
