My condolances to the families of the crew. I flew beech 1900's in AK for 4 awesome years. AK flying has a very thin margin of error all too often. THe Beech is such a reliable airplane and has had a very impressive record in sservice. It's hard to imagine a PT6 having a catastrophic failure (that seems to be the initial assumption). I raise a toast to this crew, all the ACE pilots and families, and all other pilots flying in the state of AK.

My Sincere condolances to the families, friends and coworkers of the crew. I have had a few friends that have worked there in the past and my heart goes out to all affected by the loss of our fellow pilots.
