The wrangling over Witham Field continues, as the Federal
Aviation Administration once again asserted it does not support
shortening the Stuart, FL airport's main runway to appease
neighbors.
The NTSB's preliminary report of a Czech Aircraft Works (CAW) CH
601 XL RTF that crashed November 11 near Basye, VA says
investigators found no fuel in its tanks.
It could have been a lot worse. Fortunately, a Lee County (FL)
Sheriff's Department Eurocopter AS350 was still on the ground when
the helicopter experienced some kind of mechanical failure that
caused it to shake violently.
