H500, after I was vented at for simply quoting a news article, I think you'll find that it went like this;
I asked the question, 'What, if any, are the regs for carrying passengers in Hungarian registered ex military aircraft?'
Crab came back with, "I think there are all sorts of regulations that are 'worked around' with the Hungarian registration - many of them related to dodgy maintenance practices and component histories."
Then you added to the topic with, "If it is anything like having the 341 on the YU reg it is to do with cheaper parts ..."
My question was nothing to do with parts, maintenance nor licensing, it was purely about passenger carrying.
You brought 'cheaper parts' to the thread which is why it was mentioned in the list of what people have commented on. Nobody, apart from you, has mentioned any airworthiness issues.
