At least one person has died following a tragic incident involving two jets at Scottsdale Municipal Airport on Monday afternoon, including a Learjet 35A owned by renowned rock star Vince Neil. Although Neil was not aboard the aircraft, the FAA reported that his jet veered off the runway during landing, colliding with a parked Gulfstream G-200 around 2:45 p.m. Preliminary investigations suggest a failure in the left main landing gear led to the accident. Emergency responders discovered one fatality at the scene, with the victim remaining trapped inside the aircraft until rescue efforts concluded later that evening. Vince Neil's band, Mötley Crüe, initially shared condolences on Facebook, confirming the loss of the pilot and injuries to Neil's girlfriend and her friend, both of whom are expected to recover. In a statement, Neil expressed gratitude toward first responders, emphasizing his heartache for everyone affected by this tragedy. As investigations continue, the Scottsdale Airport remains closed to ensure thorough safety checks and assessments of the situation. Local officials have also extended their condolences and support for the families impacted by this devastating event.
