Ameriflight Beechcraft 99 crash

[Burrito]

Departed MHT as WIG1046 headed to PQI.
Aircraft crash in Londonderry NH in powerlines behind Colonial Drive. Pilot is alive, but trapped in the bird. Elliot Hospital is on alert. Sounds like N53RP.
By the looks of it, lost an engine and attempted to return to the field.

That is a rough radar track...

Didn’t Wiggins have an accident out of MHT about 2yrs ago also?

More recently than that. Maybe 6 months ago.

I tried to get ATC live for the time period, but “file not found”. Prolly doing it wrong. Sure looks like a partial panel flight path to me, or control problems?

Yeah. And Wiggins has been Amflight since 2014. Had to look it up. Seems like yesterday but I remember Wiggins have some crashes during my time at brown.

I wonder if the hatch maybe popped off. His comms background noise was significantly higher the second time around, and would explain lack of comms. From guys I know that had it happen, first thing is usually rips your headset off with such force it shatters it or takes it outta the plane.
Hope he recoverys quickly.

The 99 is the only plane I never enjoyed flying.

Interesting, never really heard negative things about FLYING the 737, but no time in it (yet?) that jumpseat though…

Well I lost 3.5 mins of my life waiting on that vid

anyone know if the dude is going to be alright?

Most recent article I can find says he's being treated for “serious injuries”. But i suppose thats better than “life threatening” or “in critical condition”. So hopefully he is doing ok. Looks like a rough landing. Fingers crossed for the freight dog.

An empty C model 99 was pretty fun to yank and bank. I didn't mind flying it. The door opening could be a plausible theory as that would explain the almost complete lack of comms. Also, maybe it caused injury. This is a weird crash...

Twitchy, loud, and still underpowered…and the damn trim.

Yea, the track reminds of the dreaded “1 lock is in, i might be able to quickly relatch it” trap ive seen a few times. Training guys in it I always tried to reiterate THATS IMPOSSIBLE. Just leave it be. One will hold. Another issue is the wind pressure/moisture makes the pilot lean to about 1 inch from the glare just to see the instruments.

I have some -200 time. It was alright. A little cramped tho.
