The paper in Casper, Wyoming has a story on the crash. Pilot James
Wright was killed. It sounds he mentioned mechanical problems during
his refueling stop in Gillette.

Such a typical news report, completely missing the understanding of aircraft
operation. Why don't they just ask someone?


They never ask anyone while covering other (non-aviation) news
events.... why start with aviation-related news events?

The thought I always have, is if they screw up the news with aviation-
related events as often as they do (gut feel is we're talking like 99%
of the time), how accurate are the rest of the news events they report
on?
