I heard about this earlier today. My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Schilleci. If I hear anything else I'll certainly let you know.

Pilot dies in plane crash in Sinton
? 2007 The Associated Press
SINTON, Texas ? A Spring Branch man died Monday when his single-engine airplane crashed near the San Patricio County Airport west of Sinton.
The Department of Public Safety identified the crash victim as Scott James Schilleci.
Trooper Eric Jimenez said in his report that Schilleci made two passes above the runway before the plane crashed at the east end of the runway. Heavy fog was reported in the area at the time of the crash and may have contributed to the crash, according to the trooper's report.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
Schilleci owned a Vans Aircraft RV-6, a low-wing, home-built airplane that features two side-by-side seats.
Casey Rubey, manager of Kestral Airpark, said in a story in Tuesday's editions of The Herald-Zeitung that Schilleci was a professional pilot and was very responsible. "I can't believe this has happened," Rubey said.
