Susan Wolber, a well-known and beloved pilot based at the Northern Colorado Regional Airport (KFNL) in Loveland-Fort Collins, Colorado, was flying the Cessna 182 with copilot Randall Settergren and aerial photographer Jay Rhoten. Gulfstream has delivered their 300th airframe from the Gulfstream G500 and G600 fleet, indicating a steady worldwide demand for the aircraft.
