I live about 30 miles from this crash site and have flown into KTRK many times.

On a good day this is a demanding airport, 5900msl.

go to airnav.com and you can download the approach plates.

I called the airport and couldn't get any data including which runway they were trying for and which approach they had made.


wx at the time aabout 1500 broken 3-4 miles wind from ssw at 10-15 AT THE SURFACE...tops of the mountains gusts to 80 knots nearby.

some reports indicate great wing rocking(90 degree bank to 90 degree bank)
