I have experience with the Vortex/Tasfast operations and am not surprised about this at all. Last time I looked their planes were held together by speed tape and fencing wire. The Tuckers have a "colorful" history.
The difference is that flying over land is likely to offer better "premature" landing options than flying over water.
Poorly maintained fleet, inexperienced pilots, inadequate management, Are they still charging for training and ICUS time?
