Four Medical Transport Crew Members Remembered After May 14, 2026 King Air Plane Crash Near Ruidoso, New Mexico
In the early morning hours of May 14, 2026, a Generation Jets King Air aircraft on a Trans Aero Med-Evac medical transport mission went down in the Capitan Mountains north of Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Ali Kawsara, Jamie Novick, Keelan Clark, and Sarah Clark died in the crash, and reports said all 4 people on board passed away.
Keelan Clark and Ali Kawsara served as pilots, while Sarah Clark and Jamie Novick served as flight nurses committed to urgent medical care.
Colleagues remembered them for skill, compassion, calm service, and dedication to people who needed help during critical moments.
The aircraft wreckage also sparked the Seven Cabins Fire, drawing first responders, forest service personnel, and hotshot crews to the rugged mountain area.
