3 PEOPLE KILLED WHEN SMALL PLANE CRASHES NEAR BIG BEAR AIRPORT (CA)

I’m stationed at KPOC which is just below big bear and have been flying to Arizona a lot recently. The winds over those mountains have been crazy with some bad downdrafts, maybe they got wind sheer and couldn’t outperform it. I’ve been 5-10* nose up and still descending.
 
Tough loss. Pretty capable plane and nimble.
