Hello,

I am trying to gather information on the aircraft that exploded at
Montrose
earlier today. I did a search on a confirmed Challenger 602. I got a few
hits but the best I could gather was that the craft rated somewhere
between a Learjet and a Citation in nature which really doesn't tell me a
whole hell of a lot.

Please enlighten me!

Thanks



The Challenger CL600 series twin jets are made by Canadair. They are large
corporate intercontental jets usually with a seating of 10-12 with a stand
up cabin and potty. They are larger than most common 30 series Lears and 500
series Citations. Sorry if the next doesn't format.
