Default CRJ crash at KLEX:

Not sure of anything, Steve, but follow my logic along here, willya?

I'm roughly in the middle of the Western time zone. Lexington is right on
the western border of the Eastern time zone.

Therefore, sunrise is going to happen "later" for Lexington (with respect
to their time zone) than it is for me.

My local newspaper gives today's sunrise as 6:31. Since each time zone is
pretty nearly one hour in width, Lexington's sunrise is going to be about
half an hour "later" (in their time zone) than mine.

Adding half an hour to my time zone gives roughly 7 am as sunrise in
Lexington, just about what the rest of the gang is saying. My best guess
is that they began their departure about an hour before sunrise.

And, after sunrise, I doubt that the taped comment about the runway lights
being inop would have been made. Runway lights after sunrise don't
generally generate comments.


It appears the online sunrise calculator I used is off by one hour.

No prob. We had a crash in the dark, not even twilight an hour before
sunrise.
