From Our “Yeah, We Knew That” Department…
In our coverage two weeks ago of a fatal crash involving a Cessna Citation operated as an aeromedical flight, two errors crept in. First, we labeled the Citation as a “Citation Bravo,” based on early general-media reports. Due to an editing oversight, we failed to go back and correct our early version before it was published. In fact, the accident aircraft was a 1982-vintage Citation II.

The correct identifier is YIP. We know better and, again, this one got past us somehow. Thanks to the sharp-eyed readers who pointed out these oversights.
