Statement from The Ezell Family
“We do not want to speak on the incident at this time as the investigations by the NTSB and the insurance companies have not been conducted to determine the actual cause. There was an apparent loss of power during the landing approach to the runway and that is currently all that is known.
Dustin Mayfield, the passenger on board, has been released from the hospital with an arm injury. Nelson has been classified as critical stable by the medical staff and is still in the ICU. We can tell you that Mr. Ezell sustained numerous injuries and will require only surgery on his right arm and his left eye lid at this time. Today, he was cleared to start undergoing those surgeries, which is a positive sign. The plan is to complete the surgeries before removing the breathing tube and have him fully awoken by this weekend. We ask that flowers not be sent at this time, as they are not allowed at the ICU. We are thankful for all of the love and support and we welcome your prayers always.”

Aircraft had a Wright R-3350 engine. This is the aircraft that Charlie Hillard died in in 1996. The injured pilot, Nelson Ezell is the ex-owner of the plane.

” I have permission from Dude to post what we know. Nelson Ezell was in an airplane accident. He was care flighted to JPS in Fort Worth. They are checking him now. Dude and ACE just went back to see him. Chad is in Oshkosh trying to get here. We don’t know details. He is alive. As you can imagine they have a bunch of people asking details. Which is so appreciated. I will post as I know. Pray to Jesus for recovery and direction for the doctors. This is the best trauma hospital around. They can fix him here. Pray travel grace for family and friends.
Pray for Dustin Mayfield he was in back seat. His arm has cuts not sure if it was broke and is here at JPS as well.”
