Cool Transmile strikes again...

Sad these clowns are allowed into Enzeds airspace...

STDs are shall we say "variable" enough in that part of the world, but even so Transmile was considered a running joke by many expats in SE Asia when I was based there. Got grouped with the more infamous Indonesian operators, etc...

Flown with a couple ex Transmile expats over the years, who'd been stuck there during the post Ansett & 9/11 glut etc. So I heard quite a few stories about Mgt "ethics", maintenance (or lack of), & scary Ops.

As I remember another of their B727's burnt out in India last year too...

Before any hippies get on the case and call this thread a rave - check out the crash stats by nation and region.

woow,sky racing.

Luckily they're not flying in the states,landing at this speed might be perceived as a terro attack and have some air-airs from the local Hornets whistling their trail.

lol...
