Cargo plane down in dubai

[Longhorn]

RIP to the crew...families are in my prayers.

Also curious if they released the names yet. I have a few friends at UPS on the 747-400

 

[GuppyWN]

Godspeed gentlemen.

Godspeed. Prayers for the departed, their families, and all of you at Brown.

They left home for a few days like we all do. None of us really enjoy leaving our families, but that is how we pay the bills. God bless them and I pray they left no children behind.

The FO left behind a daughter I believe around 4 or 5 years old.

I can't imagine leaving my children behind. Godspeed guys.

 

[Hovernut]

Not sure if names have been officially released, so I won't name him here, yet. The FO lived in Sanford, FL, leaving behind his wife and young daughter. He was a USMC Veteran, and is an alumni of Comair Aviation Academy & Chautauqua. His FB friends are mostly all in the know of the situation an tributes have been flowing steadily since the news broke. We are all deeply saddened by the tragic events and pray for his family.

Semper Fidelis, M.B. We'll miss you terribly...

Pilots Named by UPS

Captain Lampe, 48, has been with UPS since 1995. First Officer Bell, 38, has been with UPS since 2006. Both crewmembers flew out of UPS’s Anchorage, Alaska domicile, or pilot base.

The aircraft, tail number N571UP, was just three years old, entering UPS service off the Boeing production line in September 2007. The airframe had flown 9977 hours, completing 1764 takeoffs and landings. It was up to date on all maintenance, having just completed a major inspection in June 2010.



My prayers go to their families.

 

[727C47]

God rest and bless all freightdogs, and Semper Fi to the FO,nobody works,or flies harder,nobody.

 

[hockeypilot44]

I flew with the first officer numerous times. He was one of the sharpest, most professional individuals I ever flew with. Based on my experience flying with him, I feel he was in a no-win situation or he'd still be with us. RIP.

My thoughts are with his wife and child.
Matt was so highly motivated and so fun to teach and fly with. He had had one of those deep big guy laughs and a great sense of humor to go with it. You are missed. Fly west now, Semper Fi.

 

[say again]

So, so sad. God bless. Be safe out there guys/gals. Many of us disagree, argue and what not here, this puts things into perspective that worse things can happen.

Captain Lampe, 48, has been with UPS since 1995.

Capt. Lampe was also a USAir, July 1989 hire.

 

[Rerouted]

Matt was one of those people who the terms gentleman and talented pilot described perfectly. I had the chance to get to know him in our initial class at CHQ back in '02 and throughout his tenure at the company. Someone above said that if he isn't with us now it must have been a no win situation - that sums it up perfectly. I can only imagine the battle he and his captain fought. Godspeed my old friend. You will be missed by many.

 

[pb1900]

Matt was one of the most professional and talented pilots I have ever flown with. He was a great man and will truly be missed. Godspeed…

Deepest condolences to the families of the crew. What a sad day for the industry.

 

[UALRATT]

How many more occurrences of this type are we going to experience and how many more will sadly pay with their lives before the FAA and the industry realizes the value of independent and dedicated smoke removal systems as mandatory in the cockpits of today's commercial airplanes. This issue should be recognized as basic as your basic flight instruments because today's smoke removal procedures are rudimentary and maybe suicidal at best.

Being blind on supplemental oxygen only adds a few extra minutes of life but not long enough to disrupt the trend of families laying their love ones to rest.
