“...Seems me there’s got to be something we don’t know yet...”
Agree. As an old flight test type, something in this description does not compute. Since virtually everything I’ve ever experienced has been badly explained by “reporters”, methinks we should let the investigating group do their thing. I’ve been on accident investigation teams, and they’re good. Very good.
You too, eh?
No kidding! This is the first article or news report I've read where the correct aircraft, a Q400, is reported. For days it was a Dash 8; although built by the same company, is a much different aircraft than the Q400.
