Mexican Air Force Learjet Crash - 6 dead.
A Learjet 45XR operated by the Mexican Air Force, crashed near Xalapa Airport, Mexico, and burst into flames. All six on board suffered fatal injuries.

Looks like it never left the ground on take-off and crashed straight ahead after the ground fell away at the end of the runway.

Nasty, I wouldn't fancy trying to get out of a Lear in a rush, they are tiny, I used to work on them in my past. Just an observation, at 1.20 that is the main gear and appears away from the main wreckage by the looks of it, the tyres burning, makes one think the brakes were hot.
Rest in Peace guys |
Do those have gust locks on the yoke?

So sad to look at those pictures. A tragedy.
