February 7, 20197 yr This story just continues to get stranger. The badge the pilot was carrying was apparently a legitimate Chicago PD badge which has been missing since 1978 - this from a Chicago PD spokesman. No one knows how/why he had it. Scott

Believe he recently sold one 414, then acquired and re-equipped another. Anyone have the reg number of the 414 in the mishap? Reason I was asking is that there is quite a similarity in the reg numbers. The 414 pilot/videographer I mentioned (Jerry W on youtube) posts videos from two 414's and the reg number of one of them is N414BL. The reg number of the 414 in this accident was I believe N414RS.

Comparing journalism to an internet discussion forum is like comparing a doctor to a kid with a bandaid. One has much higher standards they are expected to uphold than the other. Seems these days journalism is no different than internet discussions. When I read an article from the news media I'll go straight to the comment section to get the real story...I find more accurate information there.
