Good Return out of a $ 50 000 aircraft without logbooks
Well anything is possible in the DRC!
He, TR made a fortune out of this ex impounded Lesotho aircraft. Paid more for positioning and “airworthiness arrangement” from Kinshasa CAA than for the a/c.
To extend the live of engines only $$$
To dish up “new” logbooks or not to ask for them…… $$$
Import C of A and inspection only $$$
No questions asked only $$$
That Antonov 12 of TR was a fantastic aircraft. Crashed only after 5 years or more of no maintenance.
Well build Anton Antonov.
