Found this from someone claiming to be a Sheriff's deputy (and I have no reason to believe otherwise.) You have to hand it to the Hawker pilots, at least for getting the airplane on the ground with this kind of damage.


We keep getting this report of how beat-up the pilot was and how much damage there was to her instruments, and yet they say she made the landing. I have to wonder if those reports are just guessing by the uninformed media, or if not, why she did not let the F/O land the aircraft? I don't know the Hawker cockpit, nor do I have any idea of the actual crew dynamic in the aftermath of this accident, but on first hearing it seems a little unusual.

I look forward to getting more information. A cockpit voice recorder transcript would be nice. Too bad we don't have one.

Nice photos, though.
