If you don’t mind sharing, I heard the house that was hit was somehow related to a lancaster teacher… Could you let me know if there’s truth to that? (pm would be fine if you don’t want it all over)
From the sound of it this plane was about 2 minutes from landing. They lost communication rather quickly. So my guess is whatever happened, it happened fast. Probably too fast for anyone to react or for contact to be made.
ugggg I live about 2 miles from there and a buddy that works with the town just called and mentioned that he had to deliver a backhoe to the site. He was all creeped out as the bodies/remains are being laid in the street for identification. He says the area’s pretyy locked down.
thats just creepy^^^
I brought up this point awhile back-
Did anyone get a name on the couple that missed the flight?
They flew in today and said they are going to visit family in Springville.
I missed their name.
Im surprised there are any identifiable remains after how long that fire burned for.
this is not on the behalf of my company:
We have lost a “X” number of great employees. I feel that I am a better person b/c I worked long, long hours with some of them. One of the people on the team that passed could have passed for a saint with the number of people he helped.
We r having an “all hands meeting” with in the hour, and if I allowed to speak in more detail of what we know, I will.
Today, has made me stronger.

I can not confirm nor deny this. I honestly never met her parents. My good friend went to prom with her and he does not have a clue either.
As far as getting in anywhere to take pictures or anything of the sort. I had to go 15 min out of the way to get to my parents house last night, I cannot even imagine how much more is blocked off now. You are not gonna see shit unless you are flying over it.
Uh, way. Turboprops have a higher thrust-to-fuel consumption ratio than a jet, so they are cheaper to operate in regards to fuel costs. A prop (airscrew) is simply more efficient than a straight jet. Turboprops can average @ 25GPH in consumption, whereas a similar-layout jet can use 2000-3000GPH.
Also, TPs can use shorter runways than jet aircraft, meaning more connecting routes to smaller airstrips. You’re not setting a -8 down in a field as a typical landing strip, it’s not a Hercules.
Really sorry to hear that 
Word, I didn’t want to get graphic but since you brought it up, that fire raged for a loooooong time.
It has nothing to do with the Baro altitude. They were cleared to 2,300 MSL which is a valid altitude because it is base off of the CURRENT altimeter setting of buffalo. 2,300 feet is the glide slope interecept altitude and the final approach fix for the ILS to runway 23.
Variations in baro pressure play no part.
Shitty… bike path runs pretty close to the area, anyone know if they are blocking that off too?
They look nothing like CRJ’s.
Absolutely not, there is in no way shape or form that much of a difference in fuel consumption per hour.
Turbo props allow for excellent short field performance because they can achieve almost 100 percent thrust while standing still on the brakes.
Jet aircraft need very long runways because they need some ram air to spool up to take off power. They don’t get effecient at making HP until they are moving pretty quick.
This is why the Air Force uses C-130s for its short field mission and keeps those old turboprops around.
I still have heard nothing about birds which surprises me after the last crash was caused by birds. I know it is all speculation at this point but not even a mention.
