In another article describing the death of a mechanic at Roach Aviation, it was stated that he had just finished working on the magnetos of a Mitsubisi MU-2 when he was struck by a propellor (The MU-2 is a turboprop). The other big one they like to pull on private pilots is that the plane had not filed a flight plan with the FAA. The general tone insinuates that a) filing is required and b) that VFR flight plans have something to do with the ability of ATC to maintain aircraft separation. Never believe anything technical in a newspaper. -Ron
