WILLISTON, Fla. (WCJB) — The family of a Florida man killed in a plane crash in Levy County earlier this week is remembering him through online posts.

They’ve identified one of the two victims as Justin Westbrooks, a father of four. Pictures from an online fundraiser show Westbrooks with his family.

He was also a pilot for Delta. He died Monday when his AT-6D “Texan” plane crashed near the Williston Regional Airport. It was a World War II-era plane.
