Two fatalities reported, three survivors, no mention of bystander casualties.
Lot of fire to be fuel startvation. Might be from a ground vehicle though. |
They flew at FL410-400, how sensitive is the -600 to low fuel temperature issues?
Does is require icing inhibitors like Prist? Never flown the type. |

Again, I have no idea how long it takes for DEF contamination to take effect. |
I was walking my dog when he came over. (Of course i looked up—I look at every plane that comes over.https://forums.*************.com/ima...lies/hhmmm.gif ) I heard a plane on what is normally a downwind to 23. At first, I thought it was a Hawker—kind of stubby looking with no obvious stripes or any markings. It was straight north of me and I realized it was a Challenger.
As it came over, turning base, I heard the engines—so, he still had power as he turned over 75. He really wasn’t looking abnormal at all. Gear was down but couldn’t tell about the flaps. After I got back, my phone started blowing up. I was where the red dot is on the pic. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../IMG_3120.jpeg |
Another theory is bird strike
|
Sounds like 5 souls on board. 3 Pax made it out safely and the 2 pilots unfortunately didnt make it... prayers to the families of the 2 pilots
|
3 Pax made it out safely |

Hope it's not the obvious reason why a CL604 would run out of fuel after 4.5 hours of flying.
