Is it Conot or Canot?. I wrote this article and the World Almanac says Conot, more Google hits on Canot though 129.177.61.124 10:55, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I say it's Canot, I'm from Mobile, and the name sounds much more familiar.


The NTSB uses "Canot" in its report on the accident ( http://www.ntsb.gov/publictn/1994/RAR9401.htm ), as do other news sources referring to the incident. Almost all Google hits for "Conot" are from Wikipedia's mirrors. Therefore I believe "Conot" is a mistake.
