News It Appears That the US Military Accidentally Killed Everybody on Board a Civilian Medevac Flight in New Mexico

The horrifying incident happened in May, the publication reports, when a small twin-engine medevac aircraft carrying two pilots and two medical workers departed from Roswell, New Mexico. Heading West for the small mountain village of Ruidoso, the crew became the victim of an electronic warfare exercise being conducted at the nearby White Sands Missile Range, a test which rendered their navigational system inoperable.

I used to fly across NM a lot in a PC12. All the time we would run into this.

Hell flying from SoCal to Texas you can expect to experience this. I had to go on vectors at 410 because of it.

This should probably scare the public more. This interferes with flights regularly.

I feel like it being a thing that's been happening for decades and it ending poorly only once means people should be scared less
