Rockefeller billionaire's son dead after single-engine plane crashes minutes after takeoff

Looks like some other powerful people took revenge or fired a warning shot

The small private plane went down in trees near White Planes airport just after 8 a.m. Friday while taking off, officials say. The aircraft was registered to Richard Rockefeller of Falmouth, Maine.

The son of billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller died Friday morning when his private plane crashed in bad weather while departing Westchester County Airport.

Dr. Richard Rockefeller, 65, was piloting his single-engine plane back to his Maine home on the morning after celebrating his dad?s 99th birthday, Rockefeller family spokesman Fraser Seitel said.

The pair shared a pleasant dinner Thursday night, just hours before Rockefeller?s Piper PA-46 plane left the tarmac on its disastrously brief flight at 8:08 a.m. from Runway 16.

?It's a terrible tragedy,? Seitel said. ?The family is in shock. Richard was a wonderful and cherished family member. He was an experienced pilot. He flew for years.?
