What happened
A twin engine airplane departed from an airport in San Angelo, Texas, as part of a long-distance journey destined for Pretoria, South Africa. The flight plan included scheduled stops in Gander, Iceland, and various locations across Europe. The aircraft was carrying two individuals, both of whom were South African nationals traveling back to their home country.
During the initial climb from runway 22, the aircraft exhibited an unusually steep ascent and began executing a turn to the right at a low altitude. During this maneuver, the flight crew lost control of the plane. The aircraft subsequently impacted a wooded area situated approximately 300 meters beyond the threshold of the runway end.
Findings
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the twin engine airplane. There were 2 fatalities and no survivors recorded from the incident.
