The Torrance Police and Fire departments responded to the scene around 11 a.m. Video from the scene showed the destroyed plane piled up just off the runway, with fire trucks and police cars parked nearby

It was a routine flying day at Zamperini Field in Torrance for Douglas Happ, an 81-year-old retired pilot and Vietnam veteran.

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are leading the investigation into the crash. Happ owned a hangar at the airport, formerly known as Torrance Municipal Airport, and spent time there every weekend. The pilot used to own a larger, six-passenger Cessna, but gave it up for the cheaper, smaller Arion Lightning.
