If anyone sees me posting about flying to, and within, America over the next few years - remind me not to! Horrible run recently.

No survivors in the Caravan crash in Alaska.
It was brutal weather so the likelihood of anyone surviving was always rough. Sad to hear though.

I must admit I was concerned whether it involved the Tweto family if you know them. They live in Unalakleet. Jim died in 2023 in a plane crash.
Owned by Vince Neil from Motley Crüe. Not sure if he was onboard
Video of incident. Looks like the lear had suffered landing gear collapse and ran off the runway into the parked aircraft.

The pilot was tragically killed; the co-pilot and other passengers were taken to local hospitals. Vince was not on the plane. Vince’s girlfriend and her friend suffered injuries, albeit not life threatening.

A GOL Transportes Aereos Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration PS-GPP performing flight G3-1674 from Rio de Janeiro Galeao,RJ to Fortaleza,CE (Brazil), was accelerating for takeoff from Galeao’s runway 10 at 22:09L (01:09Z Feb 12th) when a bang was heard, the aircraft veered sharply to the right towards the right runway edge before steering back towards the center line while the aircraft slowed down. After coming to a stop short of the end of the runway the captain announced they had collided with a service vehicle on the runway. The passengers disembarked via mobile stairs onto the runway. There were no injuries, the aircraft as well as the car received substantial damage.
The airport reported there had been an incident between a maintenance car and an aircraft on one of the runways, there had been no injuries. The passengers have disembarked normally, operation of the airport was not affected.
The airline reported the aircraft collided with an airport vehicle on the runway during the takeoff procedure. Takeoff was rejected and all passengers and crew disembarked safely. A replacement flight to Fortaleza was made available. The airline is cooperating with CENIPA’s investigation into the accident.
A passenger (a public prosecutor) stated, that the aircraft was close to becoming airborne, when there was a jolt and a noise followed by the crew braking the aircraft.

The US Navy lost an EA-18G Growler today in San Diego Bay. Crew bailed out and okay.
This is it flying sans crew.

Thats old isn’t it? The report on that wasn’t great, the Pilot didn’t read the alert check thing (can’t remember the right name)
Edit, just saw the date, it happened again?
just yesterday.
No report of fatalities but imagine being upside down strapped in the seat. Terrifying.
