Need details on a Challenger 602

Bob...next time you log-on with a question, could you
perhaps choose another name? I got here first,and
seniority does have its priviledges you know. :-)
I certainly wouldn't want the others in the group to
think that I don't know what Challenger 602 Is. :-)

Bob Moore (The real one :-))


Yo Bob,

I'll promised not to post here anymore using just the ID--"Bob Moore" if you
promise not call the station as me, and turn your aircraft in to the station
stating "the CL-600 is a type of Gulfstream, like all the other idiots in
the biz."

Thanks Karl,

If one tries typing in the aircraft in doubt, there are quite a few hits
that infer a LEAR, a Cessna, and as the media has called it, wrongly, a
Gulfstream. Just needed to be correct with the facts. Even the
company's home base was stated to be NJ, when in fact it is CA.

Thanks for the clarification---



If you expect the mainstream media to get anything more specific than the
correct name of the celebrity most closely related to any aircraft accident
story you will be sorely disappointed.

For airplane stories try avweb.com, aviationnow.com and other sites with an
aviation background. The mainstream press is nearly useless when reporting
on aviation stories, in my opinion.

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

Actually, the airplane was a CL600-1A

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.
