Flight Appeared To Be Routine From Witness Reports, ATC
Transcripts
The NTSB's preliminary report for an accident involving an L39
Albatros indicates the flight appeared to be fairly routine. The
pilot, who according to media reports was qualified both for the
airplane and flight in IFR conditions, did not give any indication
anything was wrong with the aircraft before it went down very
shortly after takeoff from Northeast Alabama Regional Airport
(KGAD), in Gadsden, Alabama.
