Sad day for that crew but let's be honest after the go around with a 30 knot tail wind that should have been it . Why try again no one like to say the pilot was incorrect but maybe pressure to get to ASE to pickup the Bossand family they made a bad thing worse . And from reports the owner and his family saw their aircraft crash the aircraft they just bought . Again all respect the that crew but the proof shows after the first 30 knots go around that should have been it . It's ASE no room for messing around when you down in the pocket of ASE . If you can't land you can't no need to force it. I heard a few reports the aircraft that landed before that challenger had a hard time getting on and the winds were kicking hard . That crash could have been worse if the aircraft skidded off to the left when it was over 8 aircraft in taxi line waiting to go thank god that never happen . My son was a copilot on one of the aircraft in taxi line .
This crash at best opens up the topic of safety and owners can see ASE is no joke when sometimes they try to pressure crews . And more crews can now know why ASE can be a big deal .
