My Dad was flying out of McQuestin and said that it was hot and gust winds that day. I guess it crashed right into the ramp, narrowly missing the fuel tanks and some other parked aircraft.
My condonlences to the family and friends and all those in Mayo. I used to live up there and I know it is a small community and it will affect everyone in the village...
All my prayers to you all....
