SANTA BARBARA (CBSLA.com) — The pilot of a small aircraft, which is believed to have been registered to famed film composer James Horner, was killed when the plane crashed into a remote area about 60 miles north of Santa Barbara on Monday.

It was not immediately clear whether or not the pilot was Horner himself.

Santa Barbara County Fire responded to the call at 9:30 a.m. and found a debris field that marked what was remained of the aircraft after the crash. No survivors were found.

The plane crashed near a Cuyama Valley community called Ventucopa, near Route 33 at the border between Ventura and Kern counties.

7. That's a helluva private aircraft

It's actually a military trainer with a turboprop (jet) engine. Very high performance and very aerobatic.

but I wonder if that is in a designated aerobatic box?

James Horner, the award-winning composer behind some of Hollywood's biggest films, died in a plane crash outside Santa Barbara on Monday, according to multiple reports.
He was 61.
Horner composed the music for more than 100 films, including "Titanic," "Avatar," "Field of Dreams," "Apollo 13," "Braveheart," "A Beautiful Mind" and two "Star Trek" movies. His work on "Titanic" earned him two Academy Awards, one for the film's score and one for its iconic theme song, "My Heart Will Go On," which was performed by Celine Dion.
Horner, who wrote the music, shared that award with lyricist Will Jennings.
