NTSB summary

On May 14, 2026, at 0015 mountain daylight time, a Beech C90, N249CP, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Lincoln, New Mexico. Both pilots and passengers sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated by Generation Jets under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 as an air ambulance flight. The airplane and air crew were based at Roswell Air Center (ROW), Roswell, New Mexico, for the purpose of providing unscheduled fixed-wing aeromedical services upon request. The flight was under the operational control of Generations Jets, who operated the airplane and employed the two pilots. The two passengers were flight nurses employed by Trans Aero Medical Services. On May 13, 2026, at 2301, the air crew received notification of a mission to fly from ROW to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport (SRR), Ruidoso, New Mexico, to pick up a patient for transport to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dark night (0% moon illumination), visual meteorological conditions existed at the time of the accident. GPS jamming activities that encompassed the area around the accident flight were being conducted by the United States military during the time of the flight. The airplane was equipped with Spidertracks flight tracking equipment which reported GPS generated altitude, heading, airspeed, and position for the duration of the accident flight. Additionally, ABS-B data captured portions of the accident flight. The data from both sources were consistent with each other, except the recorded Spidertracks GPS altitude was generally about 600 ft higher than the recorded
