The latter were to land the aircraft at the Fort Worth base, on the outskirts of Dallas, but the aircraft suddenly collided with a bird before crashing.

Quickly, the pilot reported the incident.

He then attempted to reach the airstrip, which was about 3.7 km from his position.

The two occupants finally gave up and ejected from the aircraft, before it crashed.

One of them was found near the point of impact, the other perched on a power line.

Three houses were damaged by this crash, one seriously.

The family who occupied it also had to move to the hotel, where they still live today.
