It appears Philadelphia Eagles fans are NOT responsible for hiring the pilot who was killed in a California plane crash on Sunday. According to Stephen McKenzie of 6ABC, the pilot hired by Eagles fans is alive and well.
Spoke to the pilot that was supposed to fly @Eagles Banner today. He is fine. Airport was closed, couldn't take off @6abc @TheMightyEROCK

McKenzie's report falls in line with what the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday evening.
