LYON DORP, Mich. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues its investigation into the fatal plane crash that took place on Saturday 2 January in the municipality of Lyon.

All three died together in the accident that shocked the entire community. And many still wonder what went wrong.

‘… We flew many times with his plane. “He was a great pilot and just a fun compassionate man to be with,” said friend Todd Hallett.

While David Compo was the former HBA president, his 18-year-old son prepared him for his future and he was largely involved with the Eagle Scouts. Dawson Compo also recently studied at Detroit Catholic Central High School and takes his education even further.

“I was an eagle adviser in the troop. So I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Dawson, ”said Bill Phillips. ‘(Dawson) was a very capable young man. He basically went cross country, and did well in his academy. He was currently a first-year student at Michigan State (University). ”

The work that Dawson or his father would have done would not have been said had it not been for this tragic incident.

The family of five who live in the Lyon Township home where the plane crashed are doing well – everyone was able to get out of the house safely.
