Wichita havariet

King Air Pilot Was Wichita Tower Controller
A veteran air traffic controller from Wichita International Airport (ICT) was flying the King Air 200 that crashed into the FlightSafety International (FSI) Cessna Citation Learning Center building on October 30, according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca). Mark Goldstein, 53, who retired from the FAA earlier this year, had just departed Runway 1R last Thursday, when he reported a problem with the left engine and crashed into the FSI building while attempting to return to the airport. Three people inside one of the simulators at the FSI building, including a Russian pilot and a local translator (identified as Nataliya Goynik), were killed in the accident, which ignited a fierce fire. Goldstein, the only person on board the King Air, also died in the crash. NTSB investigators on the scene reported that the instability of the FSI building made it difficult not only to begin their investigation but also to search for possible other victims.
