The pilot and co-pilot of the medical transport flight that tragically crashed in a northeast Philadelphia community, as well as a doctor on the plane, have been recognized.

Pilot Alan Montoya and co-pilot Jesús Juárez were at the controls of the Learjet 55 as they flew a young girl who had just received “life-saving care” from a Philadelphia hospital and her mother home to Mexico, according to the outlet Milenio.

Also on board was Dr. Raul Meza, according to the Mexican emergency service XE Médica Ambulancia.
