Live in Lexinton, and have flown in/out of there many many times. We are now starting to get some live aerial video, but still cannot see the plane itself. But from where the emergency vehicles are, it is just off runway 26 (short runway, parallel to Versailles road). Of course they could have taken off runway 22 (over Keeneland), and had a problem and turned back toward the airport. This would have also put them about where the crash was. So still too early to know. But with the runway resurfacing last weekend, that would be a strange coindicence if not a factor. Might contribute to using a wrong runway if that turns out to be the cause.

Weather wise, local TV is showing a small thunderstorm close to the airport right around 6am this morning. Said that they took off under VFR conditions.

It is hard to tell, but it seems like runway 26 points towards a hillside.

A CRJ may not have been able to climb out over that.
