Just happened this morning, Jan. 2

Embraer 505 headed from KPVU (Provo, UT) to the Rose Bowl (local pilot knowledge so don’t hold that as a fact). Went down after takeoff but impacted on airport property. One fatal. Three injured. Pretty much MVFR in the area but don’t know that’s a factor.

Was pretty much snowing most of the day wasn't it?

From a different board…

Nathan Ricks, NuSkin billionaire, was the pilot. Attempted to rotate too early. Had a wing drop which cartwheeled the airplane down the runway.

That’s an unfortunate set of circumstances.

I don't know the numbers for a Phenom, but the ADSB track says about 99 knots ground speed at lift off.
