No the Sefo 206 was not from Bots as far as I know - was a brand new import from the US.
Concernig Albatross Air, their aircraft IMHO are a bunch of scrap metal - old and tired airframes inherited from the former COMAV. The other 310 of theirs had a gear collaps at Eros a couple of months ago, whilst doing training.
If the lady pilot was R.R. she has been followed by a bad aviation record and luck in the past, but in this case I am glad GOD saved her and her passengers - sorry for the irony.
The question I ask myself: if my aircraft doesn't perform the first time, why will it perform better the second time, if nothing has or was changed ??? Why voluntarily try it again thinking it would be better the next time ?
Would be really interesting to know exactly why the aircraft did not perform, especially after having it rechecked by the mechanics. Was early morning so Density Alt was probably ok. Flying with 4 pax should also have been ok.
