better ways

14Gs

My old boss used to say "give me solutions not your problems." So I must say I am guilty of not being perfect on this one.....

I do know that the guys and gals on 216 do a sterling job with the equipment they have, but thats just it.... the equipment they have. The Trimotor is a legacy aircraft and it can take a month and a day for the spares system to provide essentials. Like so many others I have waited for a tri* to become servicable whilst sitting in Akro or somewhere slightly better further east. Obviously the likes of Omni can only get us so far towards Theatre without a DAS, but it is a sad reflection that lack of investment in our AT fleets means it is more often than not a trip frought with delays. It needs either a massive investment in our AT fleets..... yeah right, or a Charter service that can go all the way..
