I lost a family member in a plane crash in 1981 (boyfriend pilot flew into a thunderstorm) and I was wondering if there was anyway I could obtain a full accident report from the NTSB.

I've currently got my eyes on a 1959 Piper Comanche 250, and I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on it. Also, if any owners out there can give me your thoughts, as well as what I can expect to spend on upkeep and maintenance would be great.
The airplane has 5100 total time, 100 hours on...
From what I've heard, pilots either love him or hate him, not much of an in between. I get the impression he's not very liked around the industry.
So what's the real story on this guy, and why is he not liked if that happens to be the case?
I was just wondering, pilots have the standard 8 hours/.04 regulation, what if any regulations do the Air Traffic Controllers have to adhere to as it pertains to performing their duties?
An old story (2004) but this is absolute preposterous.
All I can gather from this story is that this guy balled it up on an instrument approach in poor weather, and now the family is suing the FAA because they didn't tell the pilot he was balling it up...
Our flight department is in the final stages of adding a Challenger 600 to our fleet.
We also have a Challenger 604 in the fleet, and those pilots don't ever seem to have much good to say about the 600. Common comments evolve around it being a pig, poor performance, etc.

We stay at a lot of chain hotels, and I've been thinking seriously about getting some of these "reward" cards that all the corporate/contract pilots seem to carry.
My question is this:
What cards are good to have, which cards aren't worth having? What cards give you the most benefits? How do I...
