My thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

The article claims it was a Falcon 20G. Was it really a Falcon 20G?

That is the Coast Guard version, which is a hybrid between the Falcon 20 and the Falcon 200.

DA-20 Crash

A DA-20 owned by Grand Air crashed on approach to RW 7 at TOL, there three people on board all named by local news as Grand employees, they were enroute from TVC. No names were given, the DA-20 had a great record of being very crash worthy. Lots of guys have walked away from totaled DA-20's, sometimes your luck runs out..

From a fellow falcon driver, RIP guys.

I saw this post on another board. Apparently, this guy doesn't feel the same way. This is what he had to say about this unfortunate accident.

Well well well, it's about time! I know Grand Aire intimately, I have been told they pencil whip maintenance, I tried to purchase an aircraft from them, the only thing holding it together was the bird droppings. This is a hazardous crew that needs a serious investigation. BTW not that it matters much but the company is owned by an Afghani who refused to stand for the pledge of alliegiance at Toledo Express after 9/11.

I worked line for Grand Aire, and their maint. is truely horriffic, but that doesn't mean it should be "about time" this happened - what a horible thing to say, no one deserves to be injured by other's actions.

My prayers go out to the families.

KMOV.com now has a picture up on their website of another Grand Aire aircraft down in the Mississippi near STL. Toledo news is reporting the same. Two Falcons in one say; unbelievable.
