Was it ever confirmed that 411As Tristars are registered in Honduras to avoid having to maintain them to FAA standards?
I recall someone had evidence that alledged that they were flying with tired LLPs that wouldn't be tolerated under FAA standards?
Maybe this is why they have less downtime - they employ a time saving "fingers crossed" maintenance regime!
Their website certainly shouts - "technically competent slick outfit" -
