NC Pilot
Cleared for Takeoff
No problem with the photo. The caption, however, continues to educate the public that all small single engine planes are Cessna's.Frank Browne said:
Looks like the pilot did a good job of getting it on the ground.

Hmmm, good catch Darrell, but it was actually the tagline where it was identified as a Cessna.

Yea i was just being silly
BTW did i ever tell you how glad i am the Press consults pilots about aviation related stories before going to print so to speak? Otherwise i think the facts could really get mixed up.

My printed paper this morning did not contain the error.

The press isn't ever interested in facts. All they care about is NEWS. The more sensational, the better. There are numerous qualified organizations not to mention what one can find on the internet that would help them with the facts without looking like fools; but that kind of research would cost them time and money and they wouldn't get to scoop their rivals. So run the story as it is. We can always clean it up later.
By the way, answer me this. Why is it that when the NTSB reports "VFR and no flight plan was filed." that the only part that gets in the article is "NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED." We know it isn't needed, and the NTSB isn't suggesting it was, but the report certainly makes it sound that way.

OTH Cessna has got to LOVE the fact that when non pilots think of a small plane they think Cessna. Kind of like calling a Tissue a Kleenex

Jesse did it!
At least the plane is a high wing.
In my experience, all light/GA aircraft are Piper Cubs. I just shrug whenever my Cessna becomes a Cub.AdamZ said:
And ATC has converted her to a Bonanza and a variety of Pipers.
