Guardian flight, the parent company, hails from other roots, and has sucked in a number of operators under one umbrella. Go back a little farther, and you'll find quite a few more crashes and mishaps.

According to this, Care Flight / Remsa Health, is a non-profit, and it sounds like this was their only fixed-wing aircraft? Does that sound right?

No, this definitely wasn’t one of those scumbag type operations and safety was always top priority. When I worked there, it was Summit Air Ambulance, which was acquired by REACH. With all the mergers in the air ambulance sector, AMGR, AMGH, AIR METHODS, etc., I think that it was operated as Care Flight through Guardian. The former CP there, who just left for OMNI, is crushed like we all are.

This is audio of the last minute or two of the PC-12's flight up until impact. It comes from a security camera located 1/4 mile from the impact site. You can clearly hear the prop going supersonic.

This may have been a case where the aircraft could not outperform the weather.
A second similarly experienced crewmember could have made a difference in the decision making process. This process starts before the flight.
