Quest "Air Force"

[lnuss]

Ars Technica (https://arstechnica.com/) has a nice article (https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/04/a-look-at-the-airline-that-flies-covid-19-samples-around-the-country/) about the "Air Force" of Quest Diagnostics, including some PC-12s, Barons and Embraer Phenom 100s.

Ars Technica (https://arstechnica.com/) has a nice article (https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/04/a-look-at-the-airline-that-flies-covid-19-samples-around-the-country/) about the "Air Force" of Quest Diagnostics, including some PC-12s, Barons and Embraer Phenom 100s.
The "PC-12" pictured in the article has the tail number N702QD which is not assigned according to the FAA registry. The registry says N702QD used to be assigned to a Socata TBM 700, but it was deregistered on May 2, 2017.

The reason I looked it up is because the airplane identified as a PC-12 in the Ars Technica article is clearly a TBM, not a Pilatus PC-12.

Aside from that obvious error, it's interesting that Quest Diagnostics needs its own air force to fly lab samples around the country.
