Vance Brand Airport

Here's what the preliminary report says.

ADS-B data indicated that the flight departed from runway 29 at the Vance Brand Airport in Longmont, Colorado, about 6.32 p.m. Now, that would have been five minutes before sunset.

The pilot initially proceeded west and then south from LMO and ultimately ended up maneuvering southwest of Boulder at altitudes up to 12,000 feet MSL.

He then flew about 68 miles to the northwest before reversing course, reaching altitudes of up to 15,000 feet during that portion of the flight.

A pilot's radio recording is raising new questions about a deadly plane crash in Boulder County that killed a man.

A three-year-old girl in the recording, another pilot complains about dangerous flying behavior near the Longmont Airport before the crash.

Hey, 2-0, Salima, thanks so much for cutting us off from the traffic pattern.

Appreciate it.

And I didn't know where I was going to land.

I made it to Longmont Airport and glided in there.

But I was fully prepared to put into a cornfield and I would lose the airplane, but I would walk away most likely.

Wow.
