You know what I find amazing about this thread?

One minute and seven seconds after HAL9000 posted this breaking story, billorites posted the aircraft's serial number, manufacturer, model, registered owner, last engine airworthiness inspection date, and more!

I was pulling into work when this story broke today, and I did not have access to FR all day, so I did not know what news and information was in this thread. When I got home and saw the news report on the plane crash on Fox News, I took note of the plane's tail number - figuring that I would see if I could find out who it belonged to (Fox News did not mention that info in its report).

But then I thought, "Let me check FR first and see if somebody has already found that info." But sixty-seven seconds?!

And that's why I say I am amazed at the speed with which this information was posted by a Freeper. WOW!

I, for one have a day job.

Is there a problem?

It is amazing ... I have the FAA aircraft registration page bookmarked, too. :-)
