Jockflyer, nicely said!
This guy is out of line. Learjet 1955; people died and a good aviator was lost. Don't go and gossip if you don't have the correct facts. How do one of us know if there was a small oil leak or not anycase. It's not like one would transmit "Tower xxx requesting take-off, oh yes and by the way, I have a small oil leak..." Look at all the other postings of the other guys in this section; they all show compassion...
