While the NTSB continues to investigate a plane crash at small Palm Beach County airport, we're learning more about the victims of Friday's crash.

"She always wanted to be a pilot. That was her dream since she was a little girl."

Ana Matias tells CBS 12 News that her niece, 20-year old Isabela Diego Matias of Lantana, was taking one of her final flight lessons when she and her instructor, 76-year old Stanley Sands, were killed.

Flight records show the single engine Cessna took off and made an immediate low-altitude turn as if it was returning to the Palm Beach County Park Airport just before it crashed.

Matias was born in Guatemala and her family has started a GoFundMe page to raise money to have her buried there.
