outnaboutKLN94 - not quite sure how the age of the aircraft played a part in this accident. Can you assist?
Just to clarify, I am not suggesting the age of this particular Westwind was a contributing factor in this incident.
I am however suggesting that typically, charter companies that also provide medical transport services, generally have a fleet with an older average age rather than a younger fleet like RFD etc.
This is because they are a commercial operation and subject to ruthless commercial pressures in order to stay afloat, and the insurance companies and government agencies that contract such services [generally] pick the charter company that has the cheapest price rather than youngest fleet.
