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, 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.
