The article says that the plane was operated by Transpac. It sounds like there might be a little hope for survivors - We have quite a few transpac guys here, hope you're all ok.

Initial reports were that three passengers were on board the plane, and it is unclear if there are any survivors, Spurgin said.

Oh man!!!

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad I got away from that place with my ratings intact. If it was a TP aircraft, and god forbid it is another fatality, this should be the nail in the coffin.

It was owned by Bird Aquisition LLC, but operated by Transpac.. maybe on Leaseback?

No chance. If it was an Archer, and Bird Aquisition LLC, then it was theirs. I am making calls now.

Damn shame. It never used to be like this when I was there.

I wonder what happened.

Based on the time and location, and from my experience working there, I have a pretty good idea.

This is aweful. This hits way too close to home. I knew the instructor, she was a good friend. Everyone always say you'll lose friends in thus industry, I just never believed them...RIP

Sorry to her that man.

I knew the last girl that died there, and wished her luck on the flight that would ultimately be her last.

It's never easy.

Damn....This game can be pretty unforgiving sometimes. Be careful out there guys.

Wow this is sad. I had an opportunity to instruct there but turned it down. For all I know it could have been me in that airplane.

Based on the time and location, and from my experience working there, I have a pretty good idea.

What are your thoughts? Or do you not want to speculate?

Just from the outside, they were over rapidly rising terrain at night. Anything going wrong, such as spatial disorientation, engine failure/hiccup, inadvertent stall/spin, IMC encounter (don't know what the wx was like last night), or even just plain getting lost could get scary in a real quick hurry.

RIP.
