T-45C Goshawk
Father God. Heal this student pilot from His injuries. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
The student pilot was seen engulfed in flames before hitting powerlines, a witness told CBS 11.
What could have caused that???!
Terrible.
“… The student pilot was seen engulfed in flames before hitting powerlines, a witness told CBS 11.…”
**************************************************************************
In flames BEFORE hitting the power lines? Wow… there’s a lot the accident reconstructionists are going to have to put together to figure this out.
It’s in a straight line with the runway.
No huge fire, not much fuel.
Did they run dry on the way to landing?
Praying for his full recovery, physically and mentally. God bless our heroes. I wonder if Milley told the Chinese not to worry about our in coming pilots?
I remember a T38 ejection at Offutt and they ejected sliding along the ground.
One pilot ejected while sliding on level ground then going down an embankment the other pilot was shot forward and landed face first.
No fire = No fuel
My guess is that it is witness error that one pilot was afire before hitting the power lines.
The picture of the crashed aircraft is not a T-45.
Either the picture of the crash is not the crash that is written about above
Or a T-45 was not involved.
Prayers for those involved.
The town of Lake Worth, Tx, was less than 5000 residents in 2019 and is located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by water, and they had time to eject but still hit a residential section with a free-flier instead of aiming it a the water before ejecting? I see a whole lot of pilot error here just by making bad decisions. The NTSB and the military will have a hard time “splaining this one.

The primary trainer was likely a T6 Texan and not a T45 based on the supposed picture.
There’s no Corpus Christi International Airport in Lake Worth/Fort Worth.
Out of the frying pan into the fire!
How awful that this really happened.
I thought the military stopped training over civilian areas after the collision over Ruchie Valens’ high school?
