There are no pictures that I can find of the aircraft since it was registered, but I am guessing it is the plane formerly registered N35WE, formerly an air ambulance. This guess is based on the serial number (156) and that N35WE is no longer registered. Here is a picture of N35WE: http://www.airliners.net/photo/American-Air-Network/Gates-Learjet-35A/1160104/M/

To bad I wasn't paying attention across the ramp to see what's been going on. It was interesting to see them load a Lear up into a box container truck with no wings or tail a few weeks ago!

It could have crashed in any of the residential areas around the airport. Perhaps the pilots were trying to avoid houses and trees and land in the river?? Our prayers with their families and friends.
