Reedley College instructor, family die in Fresno, California plane crash

FRESNO, California — Botti said the NTSB may have a preliminary report within a few weeks but that it could take up to a year for a final report to be released.

Danna Eady was a flight instructor with Reedley College. Reedley College said the accident did not involve any students or a Reedley College plane.

“Danna was an incredible instructor and a mentor to all of our flight science students, especially to the five young women who are currently in our program and consider her to be a role model and inspiration to fulfill their dreams of becoming pilots,” Reedley College said.

Reedley College President Jerry Buckley said Eady was a valued member of the flight science department and a “tremendous” certified flight instructor.
