I'm wondering why he was flying below 300 feet, which is what is recommended @Luap1050 . I have a feeling there might have been a down-burst of air and because he wasn't at the 300, he lost control.

You could certainly be correct Nanette , a nasty downburst in that small plane could have brought him much closer to the water than he intended very quickly

No, he was alone , apparently, and I haven't seen the video yet , someone caught him doing stunts in the plane and flying recklessly before the crash . Michael Felger a host of a radio sports show really went on a rant about him being irresponsible to his family for flying a light plane period. I know some sports and hobbies are dangerous, but hey, we all gotta live the life we want - as long as we know he risks associated with them and are prepared to accept any consequences , agree or disagree?
