I just heard through the grapevine that Matt Juneau, owner of Volare Air Charter in ELP was killed in Mexico a little over a week ago.
Does anyone have the details? I was told that there were 5 in the a/c, all killed. This sounds like a fishing trip that he would take with friends to Mexico once or twice a year.
I worked for Matt for a little while and he was the kind of guy that you wanted to work for as an young professional pilot. Sad news.
Information appreciated.
EDIT: Research clears up the nature of the flight and the fact that there were only 4 total on the a/c . I assume it was one of Volare's 402s (press says Cessna "432-B"). Plane went down near Big Bend (Presidio, Tx) about 13 miles south of the border in the mountains. 3 day search found and recovered all bodies. That's rough terrain around there. It would be hard to survive any kind of impact in that part of the world.
