I will forward the messages to the potential buyer, but - as I have seen it many times in Aviation - the eyes are sometimes bigger than the wallets are deep...
Don't ask me how serious the guy is - but he is loaded with money, that's for sure and that's a good start as well.
Strange, anyway...
Hello,
we did quite some research in November and December for a very small VIP Ops.
We flew the Grand, the 139, the Sikorsky 76S++ and had a close look on the new Bell 429.
We went for the 139 because of performance, long range and VIP Cabin space ( 4Pax layout) Sometimes size does matter....
Dunno about SA, but there are quite a lot of 139 flying in the UAE, so should not be a problem maintenancewise, although we will not be based there.
Could give you the (hopefully very good) advice, to fly all those types ( as passengers, of course
) You will see and feel!! the difference.
Best of luck
Peter
Just forgot.....had a close look at the new Bell 429, but some wise guy told me....never buy the A-Model.....
