The single-engine plane clipped a tree as it went down shortly after taking off from Santa Monica Airport, about a mile (1.6 km) away.
NTSB investigator Patrick Jones said the investigation is ongoing and the plane’s recovery was due later on Friday.

Following the NTSB news conference, the vintage plane was removed from the golf course by truck.
