Friends have identified the victims as Bob Trimble and Terri Day. Both Trimble and Day worked at avionics and engineering firm Accurate Aviation in Santa Barbara.
Their small plane crashed northwest of Morongo Canyon about 20 miles outside of Palm Springs. The cause of the crash is not yet known, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating it.
The Desert Sun reports the plane that crashed was a single-engine Piper PA29. Trimble, a Santa Barbara resident, was the registered owner of the plane.
A spokesman for the NTSB said the crash site is a remote location about 7,500 feet up in the mountains. The site is only accessible by helicopter, according to the NTSB.
