That is on the Redlands Branch, and the signal system is not yet in use on that portion of the branch...

Went on Flight Tracker first thing after watching it on that program last night at that time there was the possiblity of two on board. Also from the video last night was unable to figure out what type it was was wadded up bad enought there was no way to ID it.

Sad, second small plane crash in Southern California in 2 days.

It is amazing how many small private plane crashes the have each and everyday.  Most as Juan Brown points out is air crafte management, Fuel is a big one, flight ratings is a second as well asn the sped of the air craft as most crashes are stall related.   Check out Juan Browns YT  (blancolirio)  he is a Amrican Airlines pilot  F/O

Tail number was N757PY.  Records show that as a 1977 Cessna 152 registered to White Water Link Inc, Lewes DE. Serial Number 15279907 Registration Date 10/15/19  previous owner Skywinners Inc LaVerne CA , and Pan Pacific Aviation Group Fremont CA prior to that.   Took off from a Chino CA 19:41 PST 11/13,  contact lost 20:03 PST.  "Live Rescue" reported and was with Captain Soriano responding around the 23:35 mark EST (20:35 PST), so A&E was running about a 30 minute tape delay on the live San Bernardino action.

 Dont care what he does stalls that resulted from engine faliure are not the root failure. Yes there are stall spins and such bad weather, airframe failuer, lack of fuel but to say its a big one and flight raitings the other is far from the truth. Been around AC all my life so do know a few things about it rather than make broad statements like yours. That 152 went down because for some reason, not fuel by the way, the engine quit could have been pilot error such as carb ice that did it on aproach. But until the report comes out in about a year or so it will be liisted diffrent.  Oh there was a heavy fuel smell at the scene accordint to the FD.
