A YouTube aviation star and her father have been identified as the victims of a single-engine plane crash on Thursday. 

Jenny Blalock, 45 and her 78-year-old father James Blalock were killed when Jenny’s Beechcraft 35 crashed by Diana Ridge Road road near Pulaski in Tennessee around 11:15am local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The tragedy struck just days after Blalock, who ran a popular YouTube account called TNFlygirl, posted a haunting video of her flying with her father.

At one point Jenny can be seen reading instructions from a piece of paper while she trials a new Cherokee 180 plane for a friend.  

The pair’s final flight left from Knoxville Downtown Island Airport about an hour and 15 minutes before the crash, according to data from Flight Aware.
