They're on the roof. Where CC used to have his throttles!
I can't say what happened because I wasn't there. The only thing I would have done differently was not cram five of my mates into a partie on a hot day (well, any day
). Add rotto's crosswind and wearshear and it would make for an interesting to+ldg!! Whether or not that had a bearing on the outcome we may never know and to say it played a part in the crash would be speculation on my behalf.
The pilot is an instructor at JT worked for at least two schools down there in his time. I can't say whether he was or wasn't experienced enough to be flying a twin but as said by kiwiblue this will certainly be an interesting crash to follow.
I actually thought the aeroplane company sold IYK back in april/may this year. I could have sworn I saw it advertised in "tarmac"?
