That's poignant footage as the maker of that video, Kevin "K5" Michels and two of the crew on that flight, Leonard "Len" Root and Curt Rowe died in the crash of Texas Raiders.

I'd say they died doing what they loved most, apart from being a pal, friend, father, husband, son to their loved ones. May they rest in peace.
