Falcon

Falcon is Evergreen's local partner for the SAR. They have 14 ADA pilot resumes on their desk but no one has accepted the less than satisfactory offers. Evergreen is in a panic situation to get the crews trained in time. Having said that the SAR will undoubtedly be the first of many contracts. They have to start somewhere. Falcon is owned by some sheik with about three small corporate twins. They have very limited capability, thus Evergreen and their hardware. Iran has a huge demand for aircraft right now that ADA can not fill but Evergreen being American will not be able to send airframes there. If Falcon buys them they can do it.
