Relatives of the passengers on a plane that crashed in Kentucky say one of the pilots made a mysterious reference to Toledo just before takeoff. The pilot also gave the wrong flight number, the relatives told the Lexington Herald-Leader. The Comair commuter jet crashed Aug. 27 just after taking off from Blue Grass Airport for Atlanta, killing 49 people.Only the first officer survived but remains in critical condition. The pilot and first officer arrived at the airport just after 5 a.m.for the 6 a.m.flight.They first got on the wrong plane and then took off from the wrong runway. Family members heard the Toledo mistake when recordings of the pilots' final conversations with each other and air traffic control at a National Transportation Safety Board meeting last week.They said the error was corrected quickly. "It was a series of mistakes," said Kyra Frederick, whose husband, Bart, died in the crash."That was all the beginning of a bad flight."
