A BAC 167 Strikemaster operated by Dragon Aviation has crashed fatally in the Hudson River near Kingston, New York.
Rego. N167SM.

One POB it seems..
Sad news.

From the Daily Mail article.

The Strikemaster, used by third-world nations because of its ability to land and take-off from roughly made airstrips, was taken out of service after the Royal New Zealand Air Force found fatigue cracking in the wings of its aircraft.

I didnt realise we were a third-world nation, nice to know I guess.
