Yep....2 small children among the 6 occupants killed. It was a piper aerostar bound for OKC. 3930 ft runway in 95 degree heat with a heavily loaded airplane. They crashed into and destroyed a house, luckily the three occupants of that structure escaped. Probably not within the accelerate stop/accelerate go distances for that airplane but I'll refrain from too much speculation at this point. The pilot was very experienced and was owner of the charter company who owned the airplane. RIP. |

We've had 4 crashes in North Texas this week and one in Missouri with ties to Texas. 18 Fatalities, 0 survivors. Fly Safe. |

Absent that the goal is to stay in control and hit right side up. |
