   MICHAEL VINCENT: The plane was a Piper Chieftain. Is that generally a reliable   
   sort of

   MACARTHUR JOBE: They're an excellent aeroplane. They've been built in large   
   numbers.   
   They're extensively used for commuter-type airline operations. They carry eight   
   passengers, with a crew of two, or it can be operated by a single pilot.
