USA Jet DC-9 down in Saltillo

[hawkerflyer]

Article in Spanish showing N199US as the accident aircraft. One crew did not survive, one in critical condition. My condolences to everyone at Active. Was this the same aircraft sitting in LRD on Thursday ?

If I remember correctly, isn't this where PILOTYIP and ATPCLIFF are working?

Sorry to hear of this news.

Wow, I just heard about it from a friend from there. Sad to see it is real. Those Mexican airports at night flying the arc always scared the crap out of me. My prayers are with the family. If anyone knows the crew please pm me, I still have lots of friends there. -kingaira90

Mexican news is reporting Capt is dead, initials LM and Copilot survived with major burns, initials CJ.

Reportedly it was "flying from" Hamilton, Canada and on approach when it crashed a few kilometers (press uses kilometers in Mexico) from the runway at 01:15 AM, Sunday.

However, flightaware indicates that the above flight possibly stopped in Shreveport before departing for Saltillo.

Anyone know if atpCliff is ok?

God Bless.


ATPCLIFFs initials don't match those that are given.

Very sad to hear... I know several people there... very small carrier where everyone knows all the others. RIP

That place MMIO scares the crap out of me. Didn't Amerijet or someone put one in there a year or so ago?
