Might be MX issues

Associated died a slow death, due incompetent management, mostly. Four EMB 120s. Initial, two bare metal body machines, would never fly again, some said, in 2011. Of the last two, the crashed plane seemed to have the best hopes of flying legally. As it happened, it was the (only) one they used for their exclusively charter flights, in 2012 and 13. They were down to few pilots and techs, and there were rumours of limping, just get along, do the barest, operations. And now, this. This is to wish the crash victims, rest with the Lord...and hope that for this tragedy, the guilty heads roll
