I heard an ex Raa employee was leading up the ramp check team and he is known to have all of the attributes listed above so I am not surprised to hear that and am equally disappointed. I know of many that didn't bother flying in as they were expecting exactly what you have described.
I was going to post a photo of the 300 shortly noting that it has US N Rego and that surely someone in this country is capable of such flying. Bu golly it was making a lot of noise an sounded like it was working hard! No doubt it was expensive to ship it here too. Seems the Breitling aircraft didn't get repaired in time either.
I was impressed with the trade hall, lots of vendors wanting to talk to the punters, lots of new products and a great overseas contingent of vendors.
I witnessed a shameful display from some guy hassling the Cirrus dealer about dodgey wiring in an aircraft, I felt sorry for the yank. He was threatening to expose this "issue" on a forum or some crap. Poor guy had nothing better to do.
