Overview
- The twin‑engine Beechcraft 58P went down about a mile northwest of Williston Regional Airport on Sunday, killing all three aboard, the Levy County Sheriff’s Office said.
- ADS‑B tracking shows the aircraft departed Springfield, Kentucky, at 1:19 p.m. for a planned fuel stop in Williston, with its signal lost near the crash site around 4:10 p.m.
- Witnesses reported an explosion on impact, and aviation experts reviewing radar data described a rapid, catastrophic descent exceeding 3,000 feet per minute at over 250 miles per hour.
- Authorities have not released the victims’ names or a cause, and the NTSB says a preliminary factual report is expected within 30 days.
- FAA records identify a Beech Baron registered to a St. Petersburg address, which reports link to 424 Ventures LLC, and news outlets noted limited FAA and NTSB communications due to a government funding lapse.
