Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We believe that when the evidence is made public, everyone will know the accident was caused by problems Raytheon had the opportunity to correct. The evidence will show that the airplane failed everyone on the plane, including my father."

Source: Kathryn WIlson, daughter of Denver Mills. Mills was the PIC aboard a King Air 200 that went down in Colorado January 27, 2001, killing two members of the Oklahoma State University basketball team and eight other people. Family members, including Wilson, decided over the weekend to put aside their differences and sue Raytheon, maker of the King Air, because of mechanical problems that they say were to blame for the crash. The NTSB ruled that Mills erred in trying to recover from a complete loss of AC power on the aircraft.
