The FAA said the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the probe
into the cause of the crash, and the FAA will assist.
A Mesa, Arizona company called International Air Response is listed at the
plane's owner. Its website says it is "a global provider of specialized
aerial services" that "owns, maintains, and operates a large fleet of
Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft" providing "safe, efficient, and effective
emergency and non-emergency aerial services to a wide variety of government
and private sector clients around the world."
