GPS Jamming Led to Medical Flight Crash

A medical flight crashed near Ruidoso, New Mexico, killing four crew members—two pilots and two flight nurses—just after midnight en route to pick up a patient. Preliminary NTSB findings reveal the crew lost GPS signal, forcing them to call air traffic control for help. Shockingly, military GPS jamming was occurring in the area at the exact time, prompting ATC to beg the military to stop. They guided the plane using radar and a ground-based system, but transmissions went silent after the crew reported seeing the runway. Clear weather and a moonless night compounded the challenge, and the airport’s weather system was offline, leaving critical data missing. The investigation is ongoing.
