https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2024/03/25/2-die-after-airplane-crashes-into-wooded-area-near-st-augustine-airport/(I have pulled a lot of audio, but this one really hit home in a few ways. One, how sudden things can change, from a seemingly "door popped open" to nothing heard after that.
Second, kudos to all of the aviators around the area, skillful and cooperative, and especially the controller, that man was a rock star. I did trim out some of the non-essential tx's,
but to hear him not only control the airspace, but coordinate the situation all at the same time, man is a real professional and a credit to ATC.)
RIP and prayers with the families.
