Just saw where a Fedex (looks like an ATR from what I can see) feeder crashed on landing in Lubbock.. 2 on board, both are fine.
It was an F-27
What we got here, is a failure to communicate......
are you sure of that?
"The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis says weather was not a factor in the incident."--- I thought the ATR42 was terrible in icing (i.e. AME in Iniana a decade or so ago)???

Yeah that freezing mist will make you veer off the runway every time in the ATR... maybe they should improve the boots yet again.
The media's not the only one to get it wrong sometimes.
Yes, I see that they changed equipment on that route starting January 6.
