On Friday I noticed on the local news a story about a Cessna Citation jet that had overrun the runway during a rejected takeoff.
"During the take-off run, the flight crew detected a control issue and rejected the take-off," according to a quote in the article below. It was a bit windy on the day so I wonder if that had something to with it? Will have to wait and see the report I guess to know exactly what happened.

Rode to the airport this morning looking for the plane and managed to get this snap of it with its nose propped up on a bunch of crates (the sun was in a bad position). She'll probably be there for a while, they'll probably have to wait for the insurance to pay up, then get the parts shipped over, then get it repaired etc etc.
