Business Jet ulykke på Falcon Field ved Phoenix - AVweb

 Flyplassen ligger bare 25 minutter å kjøre fra gamle Williams AFB, og vi nordmenn frekventerte ofte Falcon Field for å kikke på gamle fly. Det var ikke noe museum der slik som nå. De har bl.a. en B-17 eid av Commemorative Air Force,  som flyr, hvor jeg fikk en superflott briefing om av en norskamerikansk guide i 2011. Vel, flyet under kan være samme maskinen og bildet er tatt i 1967:

Five people died in the collision of a HondaJet with a car in Mesa, Arizona, about 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday. The plane was reportedly taking off from Falcon Field when it overran the runway and crashed into the car on a street bordering the airport. There were five people on the aircraft but it's not clear if all the victims were on the plane or if any were in the car. This is a developing story that will be updated as more details are released.

The FAA issued the following statement: A Honda HA-420 jet crashed at Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Arizona, around 4:40 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Nov. 5. The aircraft struck a vehicle outside of the airport property. Five people were on board the plane. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates. 

Update: The Aviation Safety Network is reporting that the still unidentified driver of the vehicle that was struck is one of the five fatalities. Four of those on board the HondaJet, N57HP registered to Ice Man Holdings, LLC of Mesa, were killed. They were identified in news reports as the aircraft owner (it remains unclear who was flying), Spencer Lindahl, 43, who lived in Utah and operated a property management company in Mesa; his business partner Rustin Randall, 48; Drew Kimball, 44 and his son Grahm, 12. According to the reports, Lindahl's 18-year-old son was also on board and was seriously injured.
