A USAF friend of mine operated UAV's in Iraq a couple of years ago. He wondered if he spilled coffee on his lap and got burned if he would eligible for the purple heart. As it stood, he got some combat ribbons for it.
Why did they give up the China flying just months after they started it again? Or did that contract get cut too? I never did hear what happened with it.
True dat. This MU-2 guy has seen his loads drop off by about 55% in the past 4 weeks and is hearing the couriers say "Run is gonna be cancelled" more times than he ever has.
All sorts of cool stuff out there.
ATAC flies Drakens and Kfirs
There are a few MiG's flying around (not the Groom Lake ones). My buddy flies a MiG-21 on some stuff.
The Starfighters out of St. Pete did some contract work with F-104's, but I don't think they have done anything in awhile except...
Haven't heard anything yet. I talked to a guy a little closer to the mothership than I and he hasn't heard anything to the effect. I'll know more on Wednesday.
The MX is what you would expect from a low rent 135 outfit. Not good, but not terrible.
Flightline can barely manage 12 airplanes and pilots, let alone the what...20+ airplanes and 30 pilots from Aero Charter?
Talking with the DO. I have searched around and haven't heard anything too negative. He seems like a straight shooter. They seem to be doing ok. I see a brand new Caravan pass thru HWD every other month on its way to Hawaii.
Anyone out there work for them? What's the word?
Thx.
