isn't this the one the determined had been fueled with
Jet-A instead of 100LL... apparently the FBO had also fueled a 421 at the same
time with Jet-A, however it was caught prior to takeoff... I got this second
hand so perhaps it is not correct?
I don't know about the plane being misfueled, but
this comment reminds me of something I read a while back. The pilot of a
Turbo-Skylane was refueling while on a cross country trip and noticed
the line guy was about to pump Jet-A into his plane. When the
pilot stopped him from pumping the Jet-A the line guy, with a confused look on
his face, said, "But it says Turbo on the side. Don't all
these Turbos use Jet-A?" A good reminder that just because someone
works around airplanes doesn't mean they know much about them. Keep a
close eye on the fuel truck. And having the word "Turbo" prominently
displayed on an airplane is not necessarily a good thing.
