Counting the errors in a news story involving airlines/avaition is always fun. There's the caption for the picture in the KTLA story American Eagle Jets Bump on Runway . It wasn't on the runway, it was at the gate. Which oddly enough was mentioned in the story. Then there's the identification of the two aircraft two Ambraer E135 turboprop planes . Never heard of Ambraer, Embraer yes. And I didn't know the E135 was a turboprop, I always thought it was powered by turbofans. 🙂
