As far as I know there is no reason the Alpha’s can not still be used for training even if the company goes out of business. The few they have will be good for a while. If I what I heard was correct they spent a lot for them, shame to sell them for a big loss. With the US dollar being weak and aircraft prices being low it would be a good time for them to buy up a few used C172’s. Good C172’s with low time airframes (3000-4000 hrs) that have never been used as a trainer can be had for around $40,000 US. (1970-1975 vintage) You overhaul the engines in the US before bring them over, do a structural survey and standardize the panels. Price before shipping would be approx $60,000 each. Figure two to container shipping is $2000 each. Paint and basic interior in Philippines $5000 each . So for around $67,000 USD or 2.75 Million Peso you have a zero time engine C172. ( plus what ever the import duty is) Figure 2000 hour TBO and not counting any damage that is only $34.00 an hour. Then if you rebuild the engine the next cycle is cheaper. Having owned a few C172’s there is very little that can really go wrong if they are maintained well.
