August 22, 20196 yr Was driving by Thermolito Afterbay on CA 99 today when I saw the smoke from this incident at KOVE. All 8 passengers and both pilots escaped without major injury. 👍 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/passengers-walk-away-uninjured-after-plane-bursts-flames-california-airport-n1045051 Greg

August 22, 20196 yr This crash was weirdly similar to a recent Cessna Citation crash in Tennessee involving Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and his family. That jet also slide off the end of the runway and caught fire - all got out and survived. Earnhardt may have owned the aircraft....
August 23, 20196 yr This crash has little in common with Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s crash other than both aircraft were Cessna products. Two different models, this crash was a failure during the takeoff run, Earnhardt's was likely a botched landing. In both cases, everyone survived and no serious injuries and for that I am thankful.
