The crash damaged three buildings and destroyed 13 cars. No one on the ground was injured.

The second victim has yet to be identified.

The National Transportation Security Board hopes to release a preliminary report on the cause of the crash sometime next week.

For now, authorities say the strong winds at that time was a concern.

Officials say Alino had about three to four years of experience as a pilot. He is described by loved-ones as a kind man who loved to fly.
