BeachAV8R Aviation & Air Combat Co-Editor Lifer Registered: 01/22/01 Loc: Charlotte, NC USA	I don't get it..the article said it caught fire while taxiing..then an official said it crashed? My wild, speculative, totally off the wall guess...uh...brake fire from taxiing to long at a high gross weight and riding the brakes.. $;\)$ Hope everyone is OK. Hope it only caught fire on the ground and they got out and not a "crash".. _________________________ http://www.mudspike.com http://www.mudspike.com/adventure.htm
