W.Va. studies state government aircraft fleet; Flights decline under Tomblin
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration is conducting a comprehensive review of the state's aircraft fleet, following a significant decline in state plane use since Tomblin took office.
The use of the state's largest airplane, a King Air 350, has dropped by a third -- from a high of 302 flights in 2006 to 197 last year. Flights on the state's other plane, a 2009 Cessna Grand Caravan, are down by half, from 199 to 95 flights, during the same period.
