RIP I used to go to Aviall right next to them a lot, and maybe traded freight with them once or twice during my freight days. Sad to hear.

Condolences to you and please pass to the families that we here in the flying community mourn the loss.

I flew out of YIP a long time ago, still know some guys banging around the area. As usual when something like this happens you are afraid to find out. Very sorry this has happened. When it is appropriate could you post the crew names>

Sorry to hear that. I've lost a few comrades over the years in this industry. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Royal and the surviving families of the pilots.

I was just curious if it was one of my company's old Lears.

Some more information can be found here. Great bunch of guys down there, they have been covering stuff for me for a long time. This is the tough part of this business. My prayers go out to the families.

Thanks, Griffin. It wasn't the one.
