I agree. I love the scheme they had. Polished Aluminium with the Tiger logo is very eye catching. They seemed like they were involved with some pretty interesting flying over the years. Slightly "Air America" without the CIA bit perhaps? Be very interesting if anyone here flew or worked for them too. Sure there are some folk who did.

Read in the early days they also flew Bud Contessa aircraft which were amazingly was constructed of steel! I know as much they were formed from the Flying Tiger Squadron, the American Volunteer Group during early WW2 flying P40s.
