N54BT was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech E18S (serial BA56, cancelled May 19, 1998). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

The pilot's disregard of the preflight weather briefing for severe weather along his route of flight, and his departure into the known and forecasted severe weather. A factor in the accident was the inadequate FAA oversight of the operator, which fostered an attitude of rule bending.
