At the end of the day these two pilots flew this aircraft into a rock - indisputably.I am guessing I missed the irrefutable proof from the available evidence that you have to back up that statement I believe that the aircraft shortcomings - all indisputably unproven by all the posts above - are a sideline to the lack of planning and airmanship shown on the dayI am guessing I also missed the irrefutable proof from available evidence that you have to back up that statement.
Can you tell us if the aircraft was fully serviceable at the time of the crash, as in the final moments prior to the impact?
