The families of nine young skydivers who died last October when a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan crashed in Washington state have sued Cessna, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported on Monday. "They [Cessna] had the numbers of each plane that had a miscalibrated warning system on it and did not contact the owners of those planes," lawyer Dean Brett told the P-I. "Our goal is to have the 208B decertified from flying in icing conditions." The pilot also died when the airplane hit a mountain. Cessna declined comment to AVweb. Spokesman Doug Oliver said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
