Any idea who the crew was? I know a few people there.

RIP

Dang it. One of my former instructors is a long time Captain there and was just promoted to DO.

 

[ShortField]

Don't know who it is. Nothing really conclusive yet. Looks like the wx around DLG has been garbage for most of the day. Supposed to be an update on the 10pm news.

I am hoping for good news. Neil11 please checkin! I texted him earlier and he hasnt responded yet.

 

[DE727UPS]

Thoughts and prayers going out. Hope for the best.

 

[ShortField]

10 O'clock news didn't offer much new info. Wx is supposed to improve tomorrow.

Hoping for the best.

Has the weather started to lift over there yet?

Thoughts and prayers for the crew.

 

[ShortField]

Wx seems to be cooperating. 8000 broken 15mi. Haven't heard anything yet.

My former employer, and knew the CA a little bit. Haven't heard a damn thing yet, I hope they made it, but it sounds like a CFIT....

Sucks.

 

[ASpilot2be]

The FO on the flight was our very own Neil11 . May the crew RIP. I just met Neil a few weeks back. He was a great kid.

Terrible news, RIP

I have heard through news sources the plane was found and both pilots are deceased. As a former freight dog for 16 years I can understand some situations a crew or pilot may find themselves but I have a difficult time understanding how one company can have two accidents within two years. I never flew the 1900C but I have over 2000 hours in 1900D in both seats. Its a very easy aircraft to fly compared to the metro as well as a good ice machine. I will pray for the families.
