Sad story. These people are volunteers of the US Air Force. Their service is unrecognized by the government for veteran status and they died now. Not enough money to honor first responders working for military for free ... let's give another billion to Ukraine though
@@francikaa1No DEI here bro. All pilots in CAP currently hold civilian pilots licenses. And with pax and in a SAREX, she was also as a minimum instrument rated and had 250hrs of PIC time. The CAP doesn’t do flight training except for Cadets to solo so she and the other pilot were not trained nor hired by the CAP. All volunteers with no interviews or minimum standards other than what I said above.
Cap member here sqaudron 099 its very sad to see this happen ingact i was sipposed to go as a ground team that day for the exercise but had a last minute cancelation thank god for that rip to those who died
It was a Civil Air Patrol plane conducting a SAR training mission, with a photographer on board. So yes they were flying a simulated search pattern. I knew the pilot. She was an extremely capable mountain pilot and mountain flying instructor. She flew in the VFW airlift I direct here in Colorado.
@@bigfoottruth5281 Don't think it was wx - winds were light at the time, maybe engine failure and just no good place to put it down? Rogue downdraft? They were close to the lee side of the hills but like I said winds were pretty light. Bird strike? No clue, I'm gonna wait for the NTSB preliminary and final reports.
@ there is a strange pattern of downed aircraft concerning the missing 411 scenario where people go missing and then an aircraft maybe be sent out to look for them and it also goes down and the people go missing and/or are injured or die. I just wonder if the incessant circling may have caused something on the ground to get annoyed with the circling aircraft. I have seen a video of a stick come flying out out of the forest at a drone that was clearly thrown by something in the woods. I hope everything is as natural as possible with this, but it is sad to see anybody pass in an accident.
That's terrible. Prayers for those affected.

Aviators forget that air density and temperature change can drastically cause lift and drag in aerodynamics near mountain or high elevation heading.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
No kidding? Did you use AI or chat GPT for this?
Pilot's name is Susan.
I'll say no more
Got the same thought after I read the pilot's name. DEI strikes again.
@@francikaa1you are seriously out of line and have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about!

There's been a lot of these accidents lately. Are they having sudden health emergencies? 🤷
Why were they flying in so many circles? Did they see something? Was it what they were looking for or was it something else?

@ what do you suppose happened? Weather related or do you think something else might have occurred?

@@bigfoottruth5281 That was me in the first reply (anntopnews3133), didn't realize I was in that account at the time.

Damn they showing the tail spin on gps 😂😂😂
That's not a tail spin it's a simulated search and rescue pattern
