Sacrificed himself instead of trying to do a controlled landing on the court.

You have my condolences, dude. Probably got caught in a thermal updraft and lost it in a stall.

Thanks everyone! Big learning experience for me so far. They were flying an aircraft that is tough to fly if not very experienced. I don't know about the pilots skills but they had made a few successful trips previously. They went on and off radar so not sure exactly what they were doing. The Air Force is launching a crash investigation right now. If you could be praying for their families I would sincerly appreciate it.
