FAA: Pilots Illegally Charged Passengers in Fatal Flight
Feds say the jet that killed a Palm Desert man in a crash last month should never have been used for commercial uses.
The Czech-built L-39 jet that last month, killing Richard Winslow of Palm Desert was still considered "experimental" by the Federal Aviation Administration, and not authorized for paying passengers.
The FAA also says both pilots flying the jets had been reprimanded previously for violations.
