They crash lots of Bandits.

I see them all the time Plattsburgh. I think commutair does some contract maintenance for them. I got to walk through one up there once. It was a Bandit and in pretty tough shape. I hear they keep crashing their planes. You wouldn't catch me in one.

The last one that I heard crashed was into a Wal-Mart just off of MHT. There was an engine failure, but i think it came down to a stupid pilot. If I remember the report, I think he feathered the wrong engine and was trimming the ailerons the wrong way while turning at too low of an airspeed.

Had he gone straight for another 5 miles he could have landed straight in at CON. Oh well....

No, there was one more after that, but I don't know the details. I heard something about it being a female pilot, ran out of fuel, may have been fatal.

Now that you mention it, I think you are right. It was at EEN I believe....

No, that one happened before the Walmart Crash. That one wasn't due to fuel starvation. The Walmart Crash happened just last spring, then about a month later they crashed another one in South Carolina I believe.

Here's the one that crashed in SC.
