He said there have been more than 30 crashes in the past five years on or around North Perry Airport, which serves small planes. A local street is named for four-year-old Taylor Bishop, one of three people who died when a plane crashed into an SUV in 2021.

'Within seconds, my hero Father in Law was breaking glass and pulling out the injured. … This is personal. This is angering. This is unacceptable,' Hanley said on Facebook, referring to plane crashes. An email seeking comment from North Perry Airport was not immediately answered Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. Castillo, meanwhile, wants an independent investigation of local air safety.
