Man this is sad guys... yup it was a Pilatus PC-12, registered 21st Jan, 2011. Guys does the PC12 have a APU? I dont think so, its too small to have one, right?

There was a thunderstorm, with a bit of lightning as well. Could it have been struck??

The Dust storm was bad, my car was being rocked by the sand and the winds, so i can imagine how it wouldve been higher up, but the aircraft was descending to 11,000ft, can anyone advise that does a localized weather pattern go up so high??

This is baffling to say the least. The plane was towards the end of its journey, and with a 550kg fuel payload, im guessing not much was left on board.

I tried googling whether the PC-12 has a Bbox, anyone any info??
