The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide further updates."

Family of those on the plane released this statement to News 9 on Friday:

"We at Quail Springs Baptist Church are heartbroken over the tragic loss experienced by the Swinehart family. On Tuesday, August 6, Daniel Swinehart, a proud veteran who served his country with honor, and his two young sons, Landin, 13, and Hudson, 10, who both embraced life with the joy and enthusiasm typical of boys their age, tragically lost their lives in a plane crash. Daniel's wife and the boys' mother, Victoria Swinehart, was not on board the aircraft and is enduring this grief with the support of her family, friends, and church community. In these dark times, we draw strength from our faith. As Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13, "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope." We find solace in knowing that our loved ones are with the Lord and that we will see them again. This hope in Jesus does not erase our pain but offers comfort and a promise that grief is not the end. During this extremely sensitive period, we ask that the media and public respect the family's wish for privacy. Our church doors remain open for those who seek solace and fellowship, and our pastoral staff is available to provide support. For anyone wishing to express condolences or inquire about how to support the Swinehart family during this time, please contact Ray Griffin, Executive Pastor at Quail Springs Baptist Church, at (405) 302-3025."
