Scramble Messageboard • View topic - eerste vlucht connie aviodrome N749NL (http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=44868&start=30) and further on! You don't have to doubt the source, he is well-known in Dutch propliner circles...
The board of Aviodrome/DDA consists out of KL people, they run the show these days.
And if the board says no.......... which they did......

It has nothing to do with money, like I said that is all sorted.
It can't be technical either as the Connie runs like a dream and both US crew members where very happy although there is always some tinkering to do with these grand old ladies.
So far the real reason has not been given, to us technicians anyway.
Well other then "we don't want it" that is.
Till last week that "we don't want it" was "good, carry on" which we did.

For those interested:
Constellation News (http://www.conniesurvivors.com/1-connie_news.htm#MAY22) isn't a bad read.

And no, this decision wasn't made because of the current financial climate... :rolleyes:
