I wish I could comment in detail on this accident, but, alas I am constrained by propriety as an employee of the operator.

I will say that the accounts I've read do not do justice to the potential for disorientation encountered when departing this particular airport on a very dark night.

This was a very hard and painful lesson for all of us who fly for my company. It is still a very sensitive subject at the University of Kentucky program where I've had the privilege to fill in on occasion. I think we can all take some important lessons from this tragic accident, and in so doing, pay our respects to the crew who perished.
