Question AFX

Surprise surprise - no aircraft!
This a/c is meant to fly commercially tomorrow!
Still on N reg - no AOC
Why could the a/c not be given export c of a in US?
Inspectors were there to do that........but did not........why was that.........were they unhappy with the state of the a/c?
Can anyone confirm if Air bangladesh has a B747 on its AOC?

Rumour has it that the a/c is coming to MSE on a ferry permit, and that the FAA mx station there has been "prepped" to sign the a/c off so that an export c of a can be issued and the a/c re-regd. Bangladesh Caa peeps have got to be happy with the paperwork though...............I wonder who will do the artistry this time!

That is...........if the a/c ever leaves Oscoda!

I hear the UK CAA are waiting to see exactly what happens!

Not that Mr Bowles has ever had any run ins with them about maintenance paperwork and AOC compliance issues!
