Mass Media Accuracy

It's amazing how much they get wrong. One example I saw in the Houston Chronicle yesterday that was kind of funny, was regarding the Houston Airshow this last weekend. The caption below Debbie Rihn-Harvey's CAP 232 was "Rihn-Harvey in her single-engine Sea B737". wonder how much else in the paper is right?

I rmember last week, USAtoday ( Pravda ), had an article about privacy. It mentioned telemarketers and how they could buy information on "40 billion names worldwide". I find that strange since there only 6 - 7 billion people on the planet.

Where can I get typed in one of those?

Typhoon,
Do you think that the single engine sea 737 comes with floats, if so do you think that they have to retract the floats.

No floats. It's got a high wing and a boat hull like the Spruce Goose. Of course, the single JT8D is on the right wing, so it takes a hellofa lot of right rudder in the climb...
