New Air Taxi Operation - Crandall & Burr

[Publishers]

taxi

Not related nor is a TSA agent required for air taxi operations. This is not scheduled service but on demand charter in its purest form.

Pba ???

I crew a Hawker out of PBI and I have never heard of Palm Beach Airlines.

I saw 'em up close

I was stuck at APA last week waiting to get out of maintenance, and went over to Adam Aircraft for a look see. The sales guy gave me a real nice tour, even a ride out to their hangar to see the A-500 and the A-700.

These things are about the size of a C421 inside. Not much baggage room. About 310-330 KTAS cruise, 1,000 mile range. It would make a nice personal airplane.

I can't see jobs flying these things paying much.

Pay would not be good, but you sure would get some attention on the ramp... However, that and $4 will buy you coffee at Starbucks...

Is the pay 4 dollars or a cup of coffee at Starbucks. You think the bottomfeeding scum sucker 135 pay is bad now, just wait 'til this hits the tarmac!! Every minimum wage Outback Steakhouse waiter with an ERAU degree will be standing in line for these jobs!!!

Yea, and this photo just makes me want to jump in.....

I'm not a big guy but please! Pinching a loaf in a 421 is a joke!
I think I'd laugh my ass off trying it myself never mind watching a passenger give it a go.

Imagine some big 230lb. guy squeezing himself into this!

(and remember the photographer is probably using some wide angle lens to make the thing look bigger inside)



I suppose if your passenger were fat and Roman...he could think of this thing as a chariot.


and get this if (while sipping martinis, and munching on crackers) I want to sit
with the crapper door open. I can still look all the way forward into the cockpit!! (http://www.adamaircraft.com/showimage.asp?image=03-318_a7int_766-600)



Dude on second thought this plane rocks! A
After TO your captain could slide back into
the Jon, and while on the throne (exposing himself to the elements
he could still supervise the flight through a headset jack!

All we need is a frick'en stick back there and a PTT we'd have a flying lounge chair! After a crap the ground crew could suck the crap right out of the back of the airplane, Squirt a little of that perfumed water up in there....and then blow me dry, with a little air from the ramp air compressor. The only thing we've got to worry about now is lateral visibility.......sounds like it's window time in the lav folks! Just got to make sure
the ground crew gives it a good once over prior to departure.
