Other news sources said the flight originated out of Kerrville, TX and landed in Tupelo this past weekend. Departed this morning and had engine trouble right after take-off. 

RIP

Here is information from the local pilots group at Tierra Linda Airport, Kerrville, TX.

"It is reported that Jack Jackson and Gwynn Groggle along with friends Charles and Carri Torti were killed when Jack's Bonanza crashed near Tupelo, MS this morning.
I was called by a detective from the Tupelo, MS police asking for information about Jack and those on board. The detective told me that Jacks plane had crashed shortly after takeoff from Lee County Regional airport. News reports say that Jack had reported smoke in the cockpit. News reports also say that four people on board were all killed however the police were calling me to determine the identities of the other two passengers, 
Jack and Gwynn were wonderful people and were the founders of the Kerrville CAP Squadron. Jack was our first Squadron Commander and served on TX WING staff as Director of Operations and Deputy Wing Commander for 10 years. 
Please keep their family members in your prayers."
