Rescue workers called off the ground search for the single-engine Cessna 172.
...
In April, a pilot aboard one of the company's planes was forced to make an emergency landing on a Big Island highway after his plane experienced mechanical problems. None of the six people on board was injured.
Company officials would not confirm if the plane in April's incident was the one that was missing.
A Cessna 172 holds four people, and that's being charitable. There is no way that the missing plane is the one involved in the April incident.
This reporter went through the trouble of finding out that a "flying certificate"--whatever that is--was issued for the missing plane back in October, but somewhere along the way didn't realize that it couldn't be the same one that was carrying six people in April? It's easy for me to criticize since I obviously know more about this stuff than the reporter, so am I being unreasonable?
