Having spent many, many hours behind the controls of an Aerostar I loved the airplane...but a jet version...hell you had a hard enough time slowing the damn thing down as a recept, why put tourches on it. Many a time was mistaken for a Lear coming down from altitude.
There were three professional pilots, well two pilots and a mechanic...but in my estimation they were familiar with the area and should have known about the lowered altitude with the high terain in the area...shouldn't have happened. They were not IFR damn this hurts all of us in the flying biz.
