im not saying he knows what happened or even close to it.
Hey everyone, it’s Buzz Killington!
it used to be but by 2008 the power sports became a separate company.

See the comment about the pilots being busy trying to keep the plane in the air than talking with the ground…
Just because they didn’t talk, doesn’t mean they weren’t able too… they just could’ve been busy giving the aircraft more attention than the radio.
Yeah and thats obviously a rational and likely exception.
Idk how fast a plane falls out of the air or what conditions those pilots were under but if they had any last stand in them before realizing certain death, I just figured an attempt by one of the two would be made to communicate something to the tower.
so was there any distress signal from the plane when it was going down or no, i have not heard the recording at all and from what was posted it only talks about changing altitude and nothing about a mayday distress recording.
You’re opinion was wrong, as evidenced by people with more aviation experience then you. Stop trying to argue the point since it is invalid.
This happened litterally around the corner from patty’s (psychov) work. I would assume he’s got the day off
Sad RIP
you are a fucking idiot. You don’t sit there having a conversation with the tower on final approach. you broadcast over a UHF or VHF channel (I think UHF is used for long distance communication, IIRC, I’m not a com guy)
and no if I was going down, the tower would be the last thing on my mind, and how do you know they knew they were going down long enough to be like omg lets call the tower.
Nope. Nothing. No distress recording.

According to the recording the downed flight had not contact with Buffalo controllers, but they were able to talk to regional controllers immediately prior.
Pauly - talked to pat briefly last night, he was planning on heading in.
Nothing, go back a page or so and you’ll see I logged everything of relevance from the ATC tape. They were cleared to 2300 feet and a course correction in 3 miles, acknowledged that, then weren’t heard from again.

Clarence center is like 5 miles away… they should have called in a long long time ago… this seems like an error
I grew up in the area and I am wondering how little control they actually had over the plane. Even with it being at night less than a mile east is nothing but corn fields and wildlife reserve, also the Clarence Soccer center which is a HUGE wide open area with probably 10 houses around it.
Why was*the plane delayed for 2 hours? Could there have been some mechanical problems that they tried to solve but weren’t totally fixed?
this thread is a 43 active user shit fest
I wondered about that, too.
This may sound like semantics with such a grave subject, but can we change the title of this thread to something more respectful? We know a plane crashed in Clarence now.
keep in mind buffalo is at 714ish ft of elevation… 2300 - 714 = 1586, then with a storm just passing though the difference in barometric pressure could have caused a decent margin of error in altitude (unless GPS is used for altitude now)
that kind of elevation comes up on you quick
