Spencer Lane shared one last image of his trip to Wichita, Kansas, hours before the American Airlines plane on which he was flying crashed in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

The rising young figure skater posted a photo on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Jan. 29 of the view from his seat over the wing of the PSA Airlines-operated American Eagle CRJ-700.

“ICT->DCA,” Lane, 16, wrote over his picture, referring to Wichita and D.C.’s airport codes. The image showed the plane still on the tarmac in Kansas.

Lane was one of six members of The Skating Club of Boston who died in the crash. He was traveling with his mother, Christine Lane, 49. Skater Jinna Han, 13, who was traveling with her mother, Jin Han, was also among the victims, as were coaches and 1994 World Champions Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova.

A total of 14 figure skaters and their coaches and families were among the 60 passengers and four crew members onboard American Airlines 5342, which collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter at approximately 9 p.m. local time.

The athletes were returning from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and a national developmental camp held in Wichita.

“i am so happy to have qualified for national development camp earlier in november, it has been my goal almost ever since I became aware that it was a thing,” the Barrington, R.I. native wrote alongside a photo of himself with other participants. “I learned so much new information that i can apply to my everyday life, and met so many amazing people!”

On TikTok Wednesday, for his thousands of followers, he shared a video of himself gliding through the air and executing a triple jump, with the caption “End of camp triple toeloop.”

Now, Lane is being remembered for both his talent on the ice — and for his personality.

Douglas Lane remembered his late son and wife in an interview with CBS affiliate WPRI-TV. The Lanes adopted Spencer and his younger brother Milo from South Korea.

“In his home club in Boston, he was just loved by everyone from the adults running the club to the smallest skaters to the people that are competing for a shot at the Olympics,” Douglas told the station, describing his son as a “force of nature.” “They just adored him.”

Spencer attended Barrington High School his freshman year before he left the school in order to dedicate more time to skating.

In his post on Instagram Wednesday, the teen thanked those who had supported his dreams and for "always pushing me to be the best i can be.”

Of his time at the camp, he added: “It was such an amazing experience."
