Looks like they shot the approach three times...hows the weather out there?

Do 600s have a FDR? Or just CVR?

Radio tape shows 2 attempts. Missed the 1st time for a 33 knot shear.

Do you have a link to the audio you are referring to?

Lots of details including first hand accounts: Challenger 601-3R down in Aspen!

Be careful out there guys,remember there's Rifle airport to the nortwest and Eagle to the northeast, about 1 hours drive to Aspen. Do not play games and mess around with ASE when weather is iffy at best. I fly in there at least four times a month and almost half the time wind up going to my alternate during winter. I hope nothing but the best for survivors and for a qiuck recovery.

From listening to the tape, it looks like the fire CFR trucks were rolling in just about one minute after the crash. That's pretty damn fast no matter where it is

The CFR call sign is Striker, or something close to that. I appears the aircraft crashed at about 21:55 and the trucks were rolling at 22:51.

Love how N505BC gives himself clearance to land at 2:25.

Why was anybody landing with wind of 330 gusting 25. High true air speeds plus tailwinds equals just what happened.
