Wreckage located, both pilots recovered, (deceased) indications are the aircraft broke up in flight
Such a sad event. Two young pilots living their dream to fly having itt come to an abrubt end is tragic to say the least. I have always viewed those aircraft as one I wouldn't want to be in. I am sure they are just as safe as any other certfied twin turboprop.
I hope their families and co-workers can find comfort knowing the pilots have flown on from earthly existence to soar in the heavens above.
I patiently wait for the TSB to find out what transpired.
