I hope the two people on board this jet got out alive. It pretty much burned to the ground.
Oh no, not again! I lived in New York City when the WNBC channel 4 helicopter crashed. I remember the final words of the traffic reporter being played over and over for days. It’s still seared into my brain. Hopefully there are survivors this time.

A NetJets Cessna 680 Citation Latitude crashes on a highway while making an emergency landing to Laredo International Airport, Texas.
The crash was reported around 10 p.m. It was not immediately clear how many people were on board or their condition. Nobody on the highway was injured during the crash, police said.
The flight departed from Los Cabos International Airport around p.m. MT and was on its way to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport when it crashed, according to tracking data.
In NTSB News Talk, we discuss B-52 crash at Edwards, a skydiving aircraft crash in Missouri that killed 12, United 169 striking a light pole at Newark, plus Gulfstream, Cirrus, Oshkosh, WACO, and Citabria reports. Hear it where you get your podcasts or at:

I had the privilege of being a CBS employee in the 1970s at their O&O radio stations in Philadelphia. CBS always felt like it was a little part of my DNA, and I’m sad to see the radio news network gone. RIP old friend…and co-workers.
This is the final CBS News Radio broadcast, aired between 11 p.m. (the top of the hour is first) and 11:30 p.m. (the final special report).
After 99 years on the air, CBS Radio News has ended.

Rotary Wing Show #126 is out. I was in New Zealand and met helicopter pilot Billy Watson on a boat in Milford Sound. He talked about scenic flying, venison recovery, Papua New Guinea BK117 work, his past accidents, and why safety starts with conservative decision-making.

Aviation News Talk #419 is out. In the LaGuardia collision, the red runway entrance lights turned off just before the firetruck entered the runway. Oddly, that's the way the system is designed, and we'll tell you why. Hear it where you get podcasts, or: aviationnewstalk.com/419
Bebop the robot sat in a passenger seat without his battery, making him the calmest airline traveler ever to experience a delay.
Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to San Diego arrived more than an hour late Thursday after an unusual traveler prompted a runway delay. The 70-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling for work when it became the focus of questions and safety checks before departure. More here: abc7news.com/19016906/
I fly an H125 virtual reality helicopter simulator. These sims are 1/10 the price of big box sims, yet have better fidelity! #VR #virtualreality #helicopter
New on the Rotary Wing Show: I flew the Loft Dynamics H125 VR simulator.
It felt far more real than I expected, and I'm convinced
VR sims are the future for helicopter transition training, recurrent training, practicing emergencies and more.

I love when a Vision Jet client has a day trip to Southern California, and I have to hang out somewhere for a few hours. Today it’s Long Beach, and I’m out on the pier there. Great fun!

In episode #26 of NTSB News Talk, Rob Mark and I analyze two crashes: the LaGuardia jet/fire truck collision, and a fatal Cessna 210 crash that was deeply personal to Rob because it killed a pilot friend of his. It's a must hear episode.
