OSHKOSH, WI – (WGBW & WISS) – Winnebago County Sheriff’s officials release the identities of the persons who died in a plane crash south of the EAA AirVenture grounds Monday 

37-year-old Sean Tommervik of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 32-year-old James Sullivan of Brooklyn, New York are believed to be the people in the Lancair Super ES when it crashed. 

A press release said, “Official Medical Examiner confirmation will take additional time; however, after the initial investigation, there is no reason to believe the occupants were anyone other than Mr. Tommervik and Mr. Sullivan.”

Tommervik owned the plane which had registration number N18BG.

The plane crash is still under investigation by the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB)
