Lightning hitting Kennedy's jet.

BDR: what an unbelievable waste of a great resource for Bridgeport to help
itself crawl out of a decade's old economic abyss, but for the ratb@$+@rd
neighbors.

HVN is a pretty sleepy place most of the time

Except for the three airlines that fly in & out. I used to work & fly
out of Bridgeport 12nm W.

Only somebody who flew out of BDR would think HVN is a busy place :-)

Everything's relative, right? Before the last commuter airlines beat
feet in '99, Bridgeport was a busy regional airport with three airlines
flying in & out. Now New Haven has the airlines and Bridgeport has 60+
bizjets and NY Helicopters based there. Before the current slowdown in
flight training, students would come over from Westchester & Long
Island to burn up the pattern - drove my pals in the tower nuts.

Anyone know or see more details about Ted Kennedy's jet being struck by
lightning last Friday, other than what appeared in wire stories. Wonder how
the crew could divert to HVN and fly *manually* when they claim that all
power was lost.
