There has been no information provided as to who was on the plane at the time.
Victory Air planes would stop in Tulsa to re-fuel on way to Phoenix. As this report states, loss of oil pressure resulted in return to airport. Victory Air is charter service used by teams in the industry. Among its co-owners is Maury Gallagher (GMS Racing, Allegiant Airlines) https://t.co/hl8CZoansA
