Reedley College president and Fresno Mayor share condolences about the plane crash

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — The President of Reedley College and Mayor Jerry Dyer spoke out about the plane crash that killed an Auberry couple and their two youngest kids.

Jerry Buckley, the President of Reedley College, said the loss of Danna Eady was felt by the aviation community and everyone at the college.

He said, “I think the thing that was most notable about Dana was that she had a certain commitment to the end goal of reaching not only certification as a commercial pilot, but actually joining an airline, and she was very close on that. She needed to complete 1500 flight hours, and her dedication was incredible, both working with her students and working on her personal goal.”

Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer expressed his condolences about the crash.
