Air Tahoma Crash

[Donsa320]

Does the 580 have a CVR on it? I'm sure that will give some answers on why that happend! During my tenure there we seized a motor on a 240, and returned. That capt. didn't request emergency sevices either.

Yes it should have both a CVR and FDR. But the power sources are not all that failsafe so they may have been interrupted depending on the circumstances.

I seem to recall something about legal threats against Flightinfo by Air Tahoma.

Anyways, looked at the article and the names, here is a webpage of the captain

My thoughts and prayers for the friends and families of the crews.

At one point the censoring program would not allow one to write "Air Tahoma"...my guess is that in a time that regionals were hiring hot and heavy some of the things that were being expressed here hurt their ability to find crewmembers.

The power of Flifo...who woulda thunk it. I used to fly with an ex-Tahoma guy and verified many of the things I had read here.

There were some truths and some BS but in the end it all caught up with 'em. I wonder if this is the end of Air Tahoma? Will they be added to the list of recently failed airlines?

B.S.?? Your kidding right? If you have this many people saying its F****Ed up... its F***ed up! I know I have been there! Have you??

Exactly right

Ignorance (lack of knowledge) is always a bad thing.

We can read about what color any given movie star's panties are on FI, or what right-wing schizo is doing what, but many times good aviation information is blocked. It's a damn shame.

My condolences to the families.

RIP CREW.

Ignorance is one thing, but attorneys following aviation around is a entire other thing.

RIP. Sad to see 3 more aviators pass in an Air Tahoma Convair.

If you look at FlightAware, that airplane had not flown since June, makes you wonder.

thats too bad such a great guy with that much experience was lost due taking a risk flying with such a company....

 

[FlyingHigh262]

i think this might be the end of air tahoma

they will find a way to get out of it. they always do!

This is sad news indeed, especially when you put a face to the name. I didn't know any of these gentlemen, but I just looked at Captain Urs Anderegg's website and it really saddens me to think that someone with so much experience went down so tragically. It could of been any of us guys out there. Be careful out there guys!! My prayers go out to these guys and their families.

Looking at his webpage made me very sad. A true aviator; nothing less.

God bless.

3 people killed in small plane crash near Columbus

not to take away from the tragedy that this is but really? The reporters think a CV is a "small plane"

i love the media........

 

[TWA]

In SLIGHT defense of the media, when you hear about a plane crash with only 3 fatalities and no Fedex boxes strewn across the countryside, you think small plane. That is no excuse for poor research, just playing devils advocate a little.

(Oh, and nothing against Fedex, just needed a brand to stick in there that the media is familiar with)

I thought the same thing when I saw his webpage. That guy seemed like he'd been there and done that several times over. It's really a shame.
