The last 12 months have been horrible for aviation fatalities here (FCA) and I knew the pilot of this Cessna T210 that crashed Tuesday. The mountains are getting way too many pilots that I know. She was piloting a T210 with K-ice and it is believed that they penetrated a strong embedded cell wth intense downdrafts, lost control and 6,000 feet almost immediately. Sad to see them go this way.
