Well, what can I say. Back in 1999, he wanted to start with some B1900C freighter/medevac operation to go head to head with Westex on their freight and Kingair medevac operations. Then, talks went to wanting to get Citation IIs/B1900C to compete against Pacific Costal and the other charter companies on charter operations.
Lots of talks and talks but never came true. Then again, talks started with airplanes as big as the B727-200Fs to compete against ACE, Purolator...etc...and then talks bloom to L-188s Electras. There was even a time to get a B747-300 for pax operation.
What's next? Within this whole time frame, a few good people left to other better adventures. Most of us could not be and were not paid for our services to try to help this company start out.
Last year, the company operated just 1 Beaver along the coast.
So I'm quite suprised to see they are getting B747F this time.
All the best to him and his company. There sure were lots of broken promises and hidden agendas, however.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see those B747s with our eyes to believe they are there this time!
