The usual request for info...anyone with gen. on them?
Fleet size, types, routes, no. of pilots etc.

[Crappy_Modem]

Please...?

[mackone]

Who are they and where are they located would probably enable a few responses. People may not know of their home base but might have seen them around the patch.

[Crappy_Modem]

Stansted, and they fly MD-80s. That's all I know.

[BGA]

Think they also have the HS125, a/c registered in Bermuda.

Old timer - do you have any contacts in Fordair Ops ??

[old-timer]

Unfortuanately not,
my pal used to do design work for them,
but that was around 3 years ago.

I used to know one of their captains,
but I have lost touch with him over the last
couple of years.
If get any more gen' I will post it
on site.

cheers,

2 md87
1 gIV
schedule and corporate routes
rumours of recruitment and 737 BBJ abound

Gentlemen,
I know a great deal about this particular outfit. I can confirm that it is at STN, operating 2x MD-87 and a G IV, all Bermuda reg. The 125 was sold earlier this year and the Dornier plan was thankfully scrapped.New equipment will be here by the end of the year. It is a very decent job.
Why the interest?

Stress free,
Are you by any chance the same who used to fly ATP's with our three legged friends if so i hope you are well Mat. Same question as Shanwick any jobs going at Ford. I've done my time and now want out with time off for good behaviour, and would like to return to corporate flying and perhaps a life.

[StressFree]

Amazon Man,
Evening, yep its me! I do try however not to think about the 3 legged airline and life on the rock, it causes nightmares!
So youve had enough? Why dont you mail me for a chat and some info.

[StressFree]

I knew Ron from when I was a baby P1
at EGMC back in the eighties,(seawing chappies, all jolly good chaps)

I used to work in the Inflite admin' office
whilst trying to become a real P1 & I
looked out at the flight line with envy,
(I managed to get an official P2, non pax,
flight test trip with capt'n Jordan in IH once though, on the Man' cabin alt' control operative requirement, ref' the BA9 doc'
with my baby licence, which was fun)

I saw IH at EGGW a while ago, it was just staging through, not seen it since though ?

The Inflite design chappies I knew used to do work for the MD's at uncle henrys.

I am now a freelance office type chappie, but
still in pursuit of that real licence,
but my £££ ran out :-(

one day though....

I last saw Ron at E.Colne, but that was
ages ago now,
hi & regards to him when you see him next,
he knew me as 'young dave'
ahh, my lost youth, where did it all go ?

happy MD' ing,

cheers,

Old-Timer,
Still cant quite work out your ID from Inflite. So you actually did a flight with DJ? Have you recovered yet? I still bear the mental scars even after 7 years. Makes me shudder just to think about it.
I'll pass on your regards to RT.
Cheers.

I was instructed to call out 80 kts, then sit there & don't touch owt !!!
(except the man' cabin alt' valve if required)

I seem to remember it did some 'funnys' when the AP was selected, it veered off track somewhat & the 250 kts limit below 10k didn't seem to be in the game plan somehow ?
I survived it OK, but Ignorance is bliss maybe !!?

I don't believe that I met you personally while I was at Inf', so I guess thats why you wouldn't remember me ?
I was the 'wannabe' type hanging around the
aircraft & hangar at every opportunity,
I was supposed to be 'admin-ing' though
in the office, which was no fun at all.

Andy H managed to get me another trip
in the back of a 125 for a circuit, a
nice aircraft, I'll take 2 please !!

cheers for now,


old-timer,
