Talk:Sonicblue Airways

Beechcraft King Air
Despite the fact it is listed on their website, and they have photos of one, Sonicblue Airways doesn't actually have a Beechcraft King Air. 

Quoted from the Toronto Star newspaper article on their fatal air crash. "But this was a short vacation and the 45-minute plane ride would save time. Before they left Toronto, Curtis had scanned the website of the airline that was to fly them from Vancouver to Tofino. Sonicblue Airways showed a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air. "It has two engines," Curtis thought. "We'll be okay." Company pilots later said they joked about the photo because although the airline listed the King Air as part of its fleet, Sonicblue didn't actually own one."

Instead of just quoting the largely untrustworthy Toronto Star as the source for this article, it might be worthwhile to do some investigation. Sonicblue/IEA is currently in a law suit with the AG and Transport Canada regarding revocation of their license. The accident was widely acknowledged to be a manufacturer issue, not maintenance or lack thereof. There were other accidents with the same type of aircraft and the cause was the same for each one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.171.14 (talk) 22:36, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
