A Cessna 421 went down last night at KPWK (Palwaukee - metro Chicago, IL).

Naturally enough, the local news anchors referred to it as a "corporate
jet"
all morning...



Just curious Bill,
Which news folks called it that? I watched WLS Ch.7 when I lived there and
they were pretty good at getting it right most of the time. A good portion
of their anchors are pilots and, at times, would tactfully correct field
reporters.
Joel and Jerry sometimes showed up at C09 for lunch when I was based there.

On "another network" I would usually cringe when their "aviation expert"
would get out his model of an airliner and begin to describe the crash of a
Cessna single.

My condolences to those lost and their families,

Marty
