   The flight had originated in Toluca, Mexico, and stopped in   
   Tucson a couple hours before crashing in Aspen, according to   
   federal officials and flight records.   
      
   When rescuers put out the fire and opened the door of the 22-   
   seat aircraft, only three people were found on board, all of   
   them pilots, Alex Burchetta, director of operations for the   
   Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, told The Times.   
      
   Burchetta said copilot Sergio Carranza Brabata, 54, of Mexico,   
   was killed.   
      
   The two other pilots were taken to Aspen Valley Hospital. One   
   suffered serious injuries, and the other moderate injuries,   
   Burchetta said, adding that their injuries were due to the   
   impact of the crash, not the fire.   
      
   It was not immediately clear why the plane crashed. A National   
   Weather Service meteorologist refused to describe Aspen's   
   weather to The Times, citing the crash and saying such   
   information would be released through the National   
   Transportation Safety Board.   
      
   The weather service's website, however, said that the area was   
   under a "hazardous weather outlook" and that light snow and   
   winds stronger than 20 mph were expected. Witnesses at the   
   airport reported that the weather was windy around the time of   
   the crash.   
      
   Two NTSB investigators were on their way to Aspen, spokesman   
   Peter Knudson told The Times, adding that the plane had appeared   
   to be attempting to land when it crashed.   
      
   The airport, known to be more difficult than average for some   
   pilots, is about four miles northwest of Aspen, a ski-resort   
   getaway historically popular with the rich and famous.
