Using dental records, the M.E.'s office positively identified the pilot as 55-year-old John Hugon from Fort Worth, Texas.

National Transportation Safety Board officials said the plane crashed after landing vertically several feet in soft mud near Lake Overholser Wednesday night.

Last week, officials with BancFirst said the plane was likely piloted by a member of their Board of Directors who they identified as Hugon.
