Just heard about this terrible plane crash near Butler Airport in Missouri. The news says a skydiving plane, a Pacific Aerospace P750, went down shortly after takeoff. All twelve on board, including the pilot and eleven skydivers, didn't make it.
It's really sad when something like this happens, especially in what's supposed to be a fun and thrilling activity like skydiving. I've read that the P750 is generally reliable, so I wonder what went wrong here. They mentioned the plane made a left turn before crashing. Maybe a mechanical issue or pilot error? Weather didn't seem to be a factor from what I've seen, but who knows.
Does anyone have more details on how often these kinds of accidents happen with skydiving planes? And for those who know about the P750, any thoughts on its safety record? Hopefully, we'll get more info on what led to this tragedy.
Really feel for the families and friends of those who lost their lives. Such a tough thing to go through.
