Fullerton plane crash: Pilot killed in fiery small-plane crash

555 The 48-year-old pilot killed in a fiery plane crash in Fullerton was a Southern California native and dentist who recently moved to Utah and commuted back and forth between the two states, his mother said Friday. Robert Ellis was taking off at around 7:50 p.m. at the Fullerton Municipal Airport, at 4011 W. Commonwealth Ave., when his Beechcraft B60 Duke crashed near Runway 24 and burst into flames, according to Fullerton police. He was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. Ellis is survived by his wife of more than 25 years and their four sons - the oldest a 20-year-old and the youngest still in junior high, the victim's mother, Sandra Ellis, said. The small plane had just been gassed up and was traveling about 15 feet above ground at about 80 mph when it suddenly veered to the left and plowed into the pavement
