News Herald Gets It Right After All
Kevin Porter followed up on the Flight 4441 story, and found (as his TV colleagues did) that Delta Connection returned Flight 4441 to Atlanta because Atlanta has mechanics and spares, not because of runway length. Porter also noted that the companion story of a USAir Express diversion from Ft. Walton (12,000 ft runway) to Bay County was also driven by maintenance capabilities - Bay County has mechanics for the Beech 1900.
