Wow, rumours in abundance! Where are the facts and the figures........AND THE TRUTH now????
It is indeed true that ABSA repossesed one of Civair's Jetrangers. The Sheriff had a court order to remove it, but at the end of the day it was agreed between the parties that it could remain in the little hangar under the Sheriff's lock. Hopefully by now, Civair would have resolved their problem.
The Waterfront Helicopter business is truly a great circus. The only organisation running a tight and clean operation is NAC/Makana. I can't believe how crazy the other lot down there have become.
Ernest "Elvis" Macdonald is trying to relive Elvis, has his picture in the local newspaper daily as "fake or real", and little Elvis are now personalising all his number plates with anything that can say Vietnam, Huey, Veetnam, Bert Vietnam, Gary Vietnam, Huey Vietnam and have, according to rumours, named his unborn child "Huey Lewis Elvis Macdonald". Man, this makes for real good comedy.
One can only but wonder why tourists are still prepared to throw money in there. Obviously for the gossip, not the fun of flying in a heli.
By the way, does anyone know if Civair still have any servicable helicopters to fly. Someone mentioned not so long ago that most of their stuff was really old, tired and timex.
I saw a stripped out shell (No engines and MR Blades) of a MBB 105 parked next to their wooden shack at CPT International. Also saw their clapped out King Air C90, ZS-MUM standing at FALA looking dirty and really tired.
Wonder when the 747's are coming?
Poor "ol Clueless"
