A couple of errors crept into our 2004 business aviation news wrap-up, which was published Dec. 29. The most egregious of them involved mis-identifying the type of Gulfstream involved in a Nov. 22 crash in Houston. We dubbed it a G-II; it was really a G-III. Similarly, the Nov. 28 crash of a Challenger 604 occurred on takeoff from Montrose, Colo., not Telluride. Finally, the co-pilot of the crashed Challenger was not fatally injured, as we reported. AVweb sincerely regrets the errors, which resulted from using earlier reports of these two crashes and not later, more accurate information.
Yeah, We Knew That Department
Key Takeaways:
- AVweb published corrections for multiple factual errors in its Dec. 29, 2004 business aviation news wrap-up.
- Errors included misidentifying a crashed Gulfstream as a G-II instead of a G-III.
- The article also corrected the location of a Challenger 604 crash to Montrose, Colo. (not Telluride), and stated its co-pilot was not fatally injured.
- AVweb attributed these inaccuracies to using earlier, less precise reports rather than later, more accurate information.
