4 Named after hijacker, D.B. Cooper, it was an

a maximum gross weight of 10,000 pounds. Several
commuter airlines have used the 18-seat aircraft.
6 False. But it was true of French aircraft, and this
caused problems for French pilots flying Royal Air
Force Spitfires during the Battle of Britain.
7 The CPTP was established as a New Deal

well as to create a pool of pilots ready for military
service. Civilian flight instructors, 1,132 colleges,
and 1,460 flight schools trained 435,165 pilots (in
mostly Piper J-3 Cubs).
