Loc-out,I dont mean to bring up old posts but you should really get your facts straight before criticising PAC.
The crash was!! due to lack of fuel!!!The reason being that the cap on the fuel tank was not closed properly after refuelling at helo in Hawaii,therefore being a pressurised tank fuel pissed out till it was all gone.And probably happened again when the ferry fuel was put in to that wing tank again!
This accident was due to the pilot(Kelvin) not checking to see the cap was on properly,and also not monitoring fuel flow in flight.It was in no way the fault of PAC.
I knew Kelvin,I looked up to him,as a lot of people did.But he had done a lot of ferry flights and eventually you make a mistake,even him,who I regarded as the best ferry pilot in NZ. RIP Kelvin.
So next time you want to criticise someone,get your facts straight.
