Four people were killed in two separate crashes during an airshow in Wisconsin over the weekend \u2014 including the daughter of two-time Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Bruce Collie \u2014 days after celebrating her third wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collie\u2019s daughter, Devyn Reiley, 30, and her co-pilot Zach Colliemoreno, 20, were flying a World War II-era T-6 Texan during the AirVenture Oshkosh airshow when the aircraft plunged into Lake Winnebago at around 9 a.m. Saturday, five minutes after takeoff, according to the\u00a0Experimental Aircraft Association\u00a0(EAA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vintage aircraft had reached 3,900 feet before plummeting into the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses of the fatal crash said the plane was spinning uncontrollably on the way down before slamming into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought they were doing a trick at first,\u201d said Brayden Hiebing, who had been fishing in the lake when the plane crashed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI heard the plane start coming out of the sky, and it started like spinning and all of a sudden it just made a big splash,\u201d said Hiebing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Coast Guard began searching the lake that afternoon, with divers recovering both pilots\u2019 bodies that evening,\u00a0the branch\u00a0tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation is underway to determine what caused the first plane crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, around 12:30 p.m., a second disaster struck near the airshow after an ELA 10 Eclipse gyrocopter collided in mid-air with a RotorWay162F helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot of the helicopter, Mark Peterson, 69, and passenger Thomas Volz, 72, were both killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gyrocopter resembles a small helicopter, but its propeller is situated in the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two others were injured following the second crash but were transported to a local hospital in stable condition, the EAA revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft involved in the second crash were not part of the airshow and were piloted by attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiley\u2019s husband, Hunter, who she co-owned a Texas-based flight school with, was also with her in Wisconsin for the event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple had just celebrated their third wedding anniversary on July 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll you wanted was to make the wasp proud. You earned your \u2018Fifi\u2019 wings,\u201d Hunter wrote in a Facebook tribute to his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) was a civilian women\u2019s pilot association formed during WWII to help aid the war effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiley was the oldest of former San Francisco 49er Bruce Collie\u2019s 13 children and is described by her younger sister as being \u201cenchanted\u201d with aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was the older sister that was the one, everybody looked up to her,\u201d Calyn Collie, 21, told the San Antonio Express. \u201cHer love of aviation was always so evident from a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Niners drafted Bruce Collie in 1985, with the offensive linemen winning two Super Bowls with the team in 1989 and 1990 before being traded to the Eagles and retiring in 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiley became a certified private pilot in 2017, intending to become a certified commercial pilot, according to the\u00a0Texas Warbird Museum, a nonprofit she co-founded with her husband and family to preserve retired WWII-era military aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger involved in the second crash, Volz, was a US Air Force veteran attending the event with his grandson, according to\u00a0Fox 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey tell me they never knew what happened,\u201d Volz\u2019s wife of 52 years, Patty, told the outlet \u2014 sharing that their grandson called her to break the heartwrenching news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
