What's your take on all this "Ground the MU-2" crap coming out of the
Colorado congress criters?

It is being driven by a lawyer in Texas that has sued Mitsubishi numerous
times in the past. He got the family of someone killed in one of the CO
crashes to get the CO congressmen to write the letters to the FAA. All this
is setting up for a lawsuit.

I was thinking of you Mike the other day when I heard about this smoke
and mirror thing about the MU-2 on the radio. I live between COS and
APA and I can say that the weather when this last crash happened about
2 weeks ago was poor. Very low ceilings and convective activity was
in the area.when the crash occurred. I believe they found the crash
about 2 miles away from the approach end. This does have an earmark
as pilot error from hearing the scuttlebutt around the airport, but we
shall see what the NTSB has to say.

I haven't heard which client this lawyer is representing but from the
descriptions that I have heard pertaining to both accidents, I don't
believe that either had anything in common with each other. The other
crash happened in December and if I recall correctly, he lost an
engine just after takeoff and didn't make it back to the field.
