The Raleigh News and Observer has gotten around to covering the torture plane in Smithfield story. Not much new news here, except some interviews with executives at the company in question, Aero Contractors Inc.

According to assistant general manager Robert Blowers, the company no longer offers jets for their clients. Thus, the torture plane may no longer fly out of JNX. I would suspect the practice still goes on, however, in some guise or another.

I’m still disappointed in the Independent Weekly for ignoring this story when I gave them all the info months ago. The priorities must be selling ads and not covering news. Thank goodness for bloggers!
