Video footage shows the fiery aftermath as a plume of thick, black smoke billowed out from the wrecked Cessna at the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provided preliminary information to Fox News Digital which stated, "A Cessna 172 crashed while landing at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in California around 5:15 p.m. local time on Monday, Sept. 7. Two people were on board. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate. The NTSB will lead the investigation and will provide further updates."

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, the NTSB said preliminary information indicates the aircraft "impacted terrain on airport property" amid a go-around and a "post impact fire ensued."
The FAA explains on its website that a go-around "discontinues the landing approach and returns the aircraft to an altitude and configuration to safely make another approach."
"An NTSB investigator is en route to the scene and is expected to arrive this afternoon," the NTSB's statement first issued Tuesday noted. "Once on site, the investigator will begin the process of documenting the scene and examining the aircraft. The aircraft will then be recovered to a secure facility for further evaluation."

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
