Pilots and I believe airplane were Generation Jets, which is based in Sherman-Denison, TX. It's a couple week on/off rotation to cover the Roswell flying, so I am sure people commute in from all over, but this definitely hits the North Texas community. The guy I know there wasn't involved, but dodging that bullet just means it hit someone else.

Horrible.

They are our competitor here in the area. I don't know anything about the cause, but I will say that they hire pilots with relatively low time (part 135 mins I think) which is why they fly dual pilot, so they aren't CAMTS accredited.

With that said, all of their pilots that I have met seemed professional and on the ball.

I did learn a little bit more. Here is the track: N249CP Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware

It is an unusual track going from KROW to KSRR (way too north), but they were doing GPS jamming that night and it's possible they got lost. We'll have to wait for the preliminary though. I did listen to some of the ATC that night and they did ask ATC whether or not GPS was being jammed.
