So what we are saying is that the fun bus is giving up the Akrotiri Schedule? Something it has had off and on for a while, sharing it with the Tri motor and various other airlines. No change then, 101 will go on as before flying around the world safely but at a huge cost per 'military' passenger and per ton of fuel dispensed. It should of been replaced years ago, not on safety grounds but on the fact that it is an inefficient and expensive asset. I for one would certainly fly in the old girl, i have no worries at all about its safety, just reservations about how much it costs, and its not cheap!
