ITALY Milan Runway Crash In thick fog at Milan?s Linate Airport, a Cessna light aircraft strayed into the path of an accelerating Scandinavian Airlines System passenger jet, which crashed into a baggage hangar and burst into flames. The conflagration, which claimed 118 lives, was Italy?s worst civil aviation accident. According to recordings of conversations with the Milan control tower, the Cessna pilot...
Huffman Aviation, tucked on Florida's Gulf Coast between Tampa and Fort Myers, is just such a place. The weather is good. Gas and airplane rentals are cheap--you can fly a Cessna 150 single-engine plane for $55 an hour, 40% less than what you might pay in a big city.

DIED. AALIYAH, 22, sultry R.-and-B. singer; in a plane crash in the Bahamas. Aaliyah and seven members of her crew were en route to Florida after shooting a music video when their twin-engine Cessna crashed and burst into flames shortly after takeoff.

Though the investigation into the crash of the plane carrying R.-and-B. star Aaliyah is not complete, one thing is becoming certain: the twin-engine Cessna 402B was too heavy to fly. With a maximum weight limit of 6,300 lbs. for takeoff, the loaded plane minus the passengers weighed in, officials estimate, at 5,495 lbs., leaving just 805 lbs. of capacity for the pilot and eight others. One of them, Aaliyah's bodyguard, Scott Gallin, weighed...
Flying a stolen plane over the Israel-Lebanon border on May 24 was tantamount to committing suicide for a young Lebanese joy-rider. That Israel forces shot down the single-engined Cessna 152 after the pilot refused to respond to attempts by Israeli aircraft to communicate with him is hardly surprising, given that the date is the first anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon and that its forces were on high alert against the possibility of attacks by the Hizballah guerrilla army that has continued to attack Israeli positions in the Shebaa Farms area of the border...
