I've read from several different sources he had a Citation 1A type

know how the media screws up details when it comes to aviation...

Yep. Makes me more than a little cynical when I hear them reporting on
other topics, knowing how badly they screw up this one.

His rating was "IA-JET," which is the code for the Westwind. The
original Citation came out in 1972, followed by the Citation I in 1976.
There was never a "1A."
