A real tragedy.
It will be interesting to learn the cause(s).
It had been flying since 1993.

My heartfelt condolences to the pilots family and friends. I've met a few of the PoF staff and pilots, very, very nice people.

Don't think that this is the time or place to start speculating about causes.
