To Boss Raptor and JJflyer,
the aircraft that is in Bolivia was originally intended to go with NEA. But due to the fiasco from the past Hadj, the management split,, and the one that split was never really an owner in NEA.
The only "same people" would be 1 person, and he is not the owner of the aircraft,, just an asset manager.
In fact, the L-1011 that is stuck in OUA is not "owned" by NEA either, they are just asset managers as well, or mis-managers as their luck has shown. The owner of that aircraft has coughed up extra funds to raise that Phoenix once again. The greed of the Africans in Burkino Faso has kept this aircraft where it is. Hard cash is the only remedy for this, and this is finally being produced.
So since the 2nd aircraft had a fresh paint job, the NEBA people (Bolivia) decided to keep it as a fresh look for their use. The similiarity in names North East Airlines (NEA) and North East Bolivian Airways, since changed to Airlines (NEBA) is by coincidence. The Bolivian carrier has been around for a long time as a freight hauler.
The odd man out of this lot is trying to stay out and he has nothing to do with NEA.
