Very sad...I saw this aircraft many times in CYHU. My condolences to the families.

The Gazette June 23, 2010 7:36 AM



MONTREAL - A small plane with seven people on board crashed Wednesday morning near Jean Lesage airport in Quebec City.

Five passengers and two crew members were aboard the Aéropro King Air 100 plane when it crashed and burst into flames shortly after takeoff.

At least four people were killed in the crash, LCN reports.

The pilot notified the airport that he was experiencing engine problems shortly before the plane crashed at 6 a.m. in a field near the airport.

Municipal firefighters, airport emergency crews, ambulances and police are on the scene.

Aéropro offers private charter flights from airports in Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Sept-îles and St. Hubert.

More details to follow.
