A Pennsylvania trial lawyer, his wife, and a third person were killed in
tragedy last night when their Socata TBM turboprob crashed during a
second approach to New Bedford Regional in southeastern Massachusetts.
Weather conditions weren't great, with a mix of rain and snow, low
ceilings (around 200'), very low freezing levels, and reduced ground
visibility.
Also, the runway 5 ILS has been NOTAMed out of service, and there has
been a NOTAM that the approach lights to rwy 5 have been out of service
since about August due to a vegetation issue.
Darn.
PVD is minutes away.
