Susi's Crocodile Tears
Whether Susi told the media that she was considering closing the outfit down or not does not seem to have made it to Nusawiru where on the day of the crash 26 April and for several days afterwards. The Van PK-BVB was circling at low altitude as always. Susi reported that the fuel system of the Porter in East Kalimantan was being considered as the source of the trouble. Correct us if we are wrong, if a fuel system for a PT-6 in a Porter is suspect, might that not also make the fuel system in a Van also equipped with a PT-6 also suspect?
Earlier on TV coverage of the Sukhoi crash, Indonesian aviation expert, Alvin Lie, said that the area for training flights is around Pelabuhan Ratu. This was confirmed by Indonesian ATC Chief I Ketut Susila. So why are Susi Air planes still doing their stupid circles over Cijulang?
BTW, one Brazilian might have his documents in order but Kantor Imigrasi Ciawi confirms that most of the pilots stopping in at Susi's digs in Pangandaran DO NOT! Just go and ask them. Our people always do because we're pissed off with the way that Susi and her family keep flouting all the rules. Her daughter, Nadine, did an illegal flight in a Van from Nusawiru to LanUD Tasikmalaya just to extend her visa! And her son, Hilman, did a full southern Asia tour to Taiwan and HK in a Van carrying Rp 4 billion in cash (what for if not to shop for illegal substances for which he has been arrested in Indonesia numerous times before being bailed out by Mom...?)
Susi Air has done 3 Sukhoi's but the media just skimmed over things in our opinion.
