THE daughter of a former Super Bowl champion is among two people who have been killed in a plane crash.
Devyn Reiley was the pilot of a vintage World War II T-6 Texan aircraft that came down in Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.
Devyn, from Guadalupe, Texas, was on board the plane with her co-pilot Zach Colliemoreno, 20.
The plane reached an altitude of 3,900 feet before it crashed just five minutes after takeoff.
Cops, Coast Guard officials, and fire crews scrambled to the scene in Oshkosh after receiving reports of the crash just after 9am on Saturday.

Devyn, 30, was the daughter of Bruce Collie, a two-time NFL Super Bowl champion for the San Francisco 49ers during the 1980s.
Collie also starred for the Philadelphia Eagles between 1990 and 1991.
A post shared by the Texas Warbird Museum said Devyn had aspirations of becoming a pilot and went to airshows during her childhood.
Her sister Calyn Collie, 21, told The San Antonio Express-News: "Her love of aviation was always so evident from a young age. She was enchanted with it all."
Devyn completed her Private Pilot certificate in 2017 before soloing the World War II trainer aircraft BT-13 in Sweetwater, Texas.
She was met by WASP Shirley Kruse when she landed the plane.
Her husband Hunter has posted a heartbreaking tribute and said: "All you wanted was to make the wasp proud. You earned your 'Fifi' wings."
In another post, he said: "I love and miss you, Devyn Reiley."
Devyn and Hunter were huge fans of Top Gun and flew off from their wedding in a Vultee B-13 warbird plane, per The Express-News.
Just days before her death, the couple had celebrated their third wedding anniversary.

Friends have since created a scholarship program in a nod to Devyn's legacy.
They said: "The idea will be to carry forward her passion of inspiring and supporting young aviators to follow their dreams of carrying the torch and spirit of the WASP and like-minded forward.
"Devyn can never be replaced but her spirit lives on with and in all of us, let’s do right by her and make sure her legacy and impact live on forever."
