I hadn’t heard that it was one of the owners :( .

I don’t know about the flight side, but I dealt with Preferred many, many times as a 135 DoM and they were just awesome people to work with.

Yea great people. I’ve visited them plenty of time at their airport. Brian loved taking those turbine DC-3s and doing mission work in Africa. One the many things they did was take old DC-3 and retrofit them with PT-6 and modern avionics and autopilots.

This the same company that flies caravans and PC12's hauling auto parts? If so, I almost went to work for them in 2014 or so.

Yes. Be curious to see how this shakes out for the company. The parts side of the business has closed till further notice on website. Hopefully the company doesn’t go under. Lots of good people work there.

And worse yet, compounding the uncertainty that follows such a serious fatal accident, ***according to ABC***, no FAA or NTSB Go Teams available to investigate due to the shutdown. Knowing the good people of both those agencies, I’m sure they will want to deploy and investigate, so will be interesting to see what unfolds.

The NTSB isn’t investigating accidents during the furlough!?

Apparently not. The article I read said they will only investigate matters that pose a threat to aviation safety. Otherwise this crash will have to sit and wait till the government opens

20 years ago the flight school learns of a no fly AD ( I suppose)
For 150/ 152 floorpans.
He called Cessna w/ no joy.
I overheard and requested authority to locate. This grizzled Chief of Maintenance eyeballs me not yet soloed student pilot and says ‘knock yourself out’
Next day I gave him Preferred Airparts phone number and mentioned,
6 pieces enough?’
I loved Google every since
