I don't know if anyone on here has followed the story of the Execuflight Hawker 25 crash near Akron, Ohio yesterday, but it was near where I live in Ohio and just seems like an unusual situation as no one knows yet what exactly happened. I know there are some pilots here on the forum that may be able to interject..the plane was on approach to Akron Canton airport in Akron, Ohio when it started to head towards the ground about a couple miles from the runway. Witnesses heard a jet engine revving up and then the sound of the impact as the jet hit an apartment building. There were 9 people on board including the pilot and co-pilot, no one survived. The NTSB and FAA are still investigating and I suspect the cause may be determined if the black boxes can be recovered.
