Sorry for the loss guys.

My thoughts to the families.

Just plain sad, regardless.

Are you sure one of the pilots was T.P.?

so i've been told.

oh man. TP was a great guy.

rest in peace.


So it sounds like it's a CFIT incident?

Always my biggest fear down there (most of mexico). Just not a fun place to go/or leave when it's anything other than CAVU.

RIP.

No, it's easy to fly down there, you just have to know your position and follow the IAP at all times.

Godspeed...RIP
Be careful out there...

A 135 on-demand Cargo Lear jet with GPWS and TWAS? Not likely unless it was also involved in hauling passengers.

 

[Plunder Hound]

How much are two guys worth? GPWS at least should be mandatory.

Grr.. I am reluctant to write but I've read this so many times over the last 40 yrs. Folk's if you are at night in a mountainous areas and even if you are familiar with the airport stick with a portion of the approach.I 'm sure these were great hard working guy just trying to get ahead in the flying game , but it only takes a second to make a mistake or misidentify something.....vis 5 mins more flying time..... RIP.. God bless these guys...

knew them both. rest in peace guys. you'll be missed. one of them posted on here as VSI9k+.

Are you kidding? VS19k+ just replied to the Airnet hopeful thread the other night. I don't really know how to feel, but do wish the families well.
