I go outa town......

Just got back from being outa town for a coupla weeks, and lotsa things seem to have been happenin with da Huey.

I believe that they've had an engine failure and after winning a court case, the Huey is up an runnin again.

Well I luv that Huey, and I've always thought that the boys were doing a damn good job.

After chatting to some people real close to the Huey, it seems that a number of things went wrong, resulting in them changing an engine. Apparently the SACAA werent happy about it, but the Court ruled in Gary's favor, and he is entitled to proceed as before, and have since been doing the tourist thing.

It appears that the Huey is now again fully servicable, and that revenue flights commenced this past weekend.

I really do hope that they've got it together in a big way this time, and that it is safe & airworthy.

Come on guys, tell us what's goin on!
