ASA aircraft fire in TLH...?
Heard a ASA CR2 caught fire in TLH a few days ago. Since being furloughed I'm no longer in the loop so to speak. Heard the a/c was empty at the time but that's about it, anyone know anything more about it?

Wow, looking forward to reading the NTSB's report, thanks for the update. Glad there were no pax aboard during the incident! Very interesting that you got to see the SAV 700. I hated ferry flights to macon, I never got to see anything interesting like that. Happy flying..

Both engines were taken off the plane 2 days ago, the plane is now in the maintenance hanger. The company doing maintenance on it is owned by the same guy that owns the flight school that I work for.
