The Tennessee native, 45, was working hard on flight training while tracking her progress across the video-sharing site where she had amassed over 15,000 subscribers. And she brought her 78-year-old dad along for the ride; James often was in the passenger seat while Jenny fine-tuned her skills. Sadly their time in the sky would come to an abrupt and tragic end.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, just an hour and fifteen minutes after leaving <strong>Knoxville Downtown Island Airport<\/strong>, several local outlets reported seeing a single-engine aircraft fall out of the sky and crash around Diana Ridge Road in Pulaski, Tennessee around 11 a.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bill Myers<\/strong>, director of the <strong>Giles County Department of Emergency Management<\/strong>, reported first responders had a hard time getting into the remote area where the plane hit the ground. Upon their arrival to the scene, it was already too late &#8212; they found two bodies outside of the plane. <em>WKRN<\/em> reported a fire also started in the area at the time, but was quickly put out after crews arrived.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the outlet confirmed that both Jenny and James were positively identified as the victims in the crash. The <strong>Federal Aviation Administration<\/strong> has deemed the tragedy an accident, but in order to try and figure out what went wrong they and the <strong>National Transportation Safety Board<\/strong> are still investigating the incident, according to <em>Knoxville News Sentinel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>So, so sad.
