    Hey Zip Weed, I saw the pictures of the crash…there wasn’t any evidence of fire. Please go back to Hollywood and leave the reporting to people who know how to do it!

  • If you download the KICT Approach (West) archive from LiveATC.net, (starting at 1330 on 11/6) you will be able to hear the pilots exchange with ATC before his off-field landing which obviously ended in the worst case scenario. Not only did he suffer an engine failure, it also covered his windscreen with oil making visibility poor. The Cessna Caravan 208B was built in 1991, less than 2 miles from where it crashed.
