Hm, I agree with the curiosity behind it... Could it be because of who was on it? Could it be because of where they were flying in relation to the oil?? Who knows?!?! Should be interesting to see what comes of it!
Witnesses said the yellow plane had been flying in the area for about 10 minutes doing a few stunts when it crashed.

DESTIN — A Niceville man and his brother-in-law have been identified as the pilot and passenger of the small World War II-era plane that crashed into the Gulf of Mexico on Friday afternoon.
Tim McDonald, 57, of Niceville, was flying his T-6 Texan aircraft when it went down about 12:20 p.m. about three-quarters of a mile off the coast of the Okaloosa/Walton County line, said Sgt. Rick Hord with the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.
McDonald’s passenger aboard the plane was his brother-in-law, 46-year-old Tim Turner of Omaha, Neb.
The fate of the men was not known Friday night, officials said.
“We don’t (know what caused the crash). We can speculate all day long, but we don’t know what went wrong,” said Nick Turner, Tim Turner’s brother. “They were just out having some fun. I’m not sure what happened.”
