UPDATE: News 3 is now report the passenger has passed away (4 August 2023).  Double engine failure near the airport.  Flight tracking says it may have been on approach, but the deputy interview I saw online (which I’ll try to post) said they had just taken off, so I’m not sure yet about that.  Pilot […]
