FAA: 17 dead in a plane crash in Montana
Pilatus PC-12 Turbo prop a class aircraft. FIRE! All from radio broadcast. Single Turbo prop in the nose of the aircraft.
Thanks!
I don’t know why I can never find posts when I do a search.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman says 17 people are dead in a plane crash in Montana.
Spokesman Mike Fergus says the single engine turboprop plane departed from Orville, Calif., and that the pilot had filed a flight plan showing a final destination of Bozeman.
Fergus says the pilot canceled his flight plan at some point and headed for Butte. The plane crashed about 500 feet from the airport while attempting to land and caught fire.
Fergus says preliminary reports indicate the dead include numerous children.
Fergus says the plane was registered to Eagle Cap Leasing Inc. in Enterprise, Ore., but he doesn’t know who was operating the plane.

jeeeeezzzz...
I do a title search first, then a key words search second.
after Natasha Richardson you’d think the most dangerous part of a ski trip was the skiing. :/
Thanks for the information.
I’ll try that.

When searching titles I just use 1-3 words of a title.
Anyway, I still end up duplicate posting at times even doing these searches.
The Montana Standard reports the single engine turboprop plane departed from Orville, California at about 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
The paper also reports there may have been a number of children on board. The plane had reportedly been originally heading to Bozeman, Mont.
The F.A.A. spokesman says the plane crashed about 500 feet from the airport while attempting to land and caught fire.
There were no known fatalities on the ground.
An eyewitness to the crash told The Montana Standard the plane was doing steep angle turns and then went into a nose dive.
“All of a sudden the pilot lost control and went into a nose dive,” said Kenny Gulick. “He couldn’t pull out in time and crashed into the trees of the cemetery.”
There will be a press conference at the airport.

I’m wondering how you put 17 people on a PC-12
