OSHKOSH, WI- The Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office has identified the two individuals involved in Monday’s plane crash near the EAA AirVenture convention in Oshkosh.
The victims are Sean M. Tommervik, 37, who recently relocated to Philadelphia from El Paso, Texas, and James G. Sullivan, 32, who moved from Nashville, Tennessee, to Brooklyn, New York.
