Cuba99 I actually saw photographs taken by the pilot himself. The tire was completely worn to the point of white patches all over. And then there were the after pictures where the white sections were covered with Black marker pen. Then there is the story of Eastern European pilots buying their licences that circulated. From what I remember there was a link to Vilnius.
I gather the original bunch of guys that started AVCON were ex Jet alliance so it does not surprise me that people pop up to say things like the difference is "night and day". Having said that the original bunch all left and I believe the word "CON" in the title was to blame.
Yeah I saw Jet alliance racing on Motor TV recently. Not sure its the image a company should portray during a recession. Next up is the Redbull air race team.
