I lost a buddy about 2yrs ago while hauling freight. It's a terrible feeling when you get the call, but nothing compared to what the families go thru. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. For our fallen brothers who have taken their final flight west, godspeed, and may you always have a tailwind and clear skies. RIP

this is very similar to an accident in alaska in 2001 where a caravan was de-iced and then took off and crashed a mile from the runway.
the one in alaska reached 600 feet agl and then stalled.
