OK here goes

I really didn't want to come back to this subject here.

The cannon fire won't resolve much I'm afraid, but I can confirm that the Bonanza ferry (Slovenia - Philippines) was an utter mess. The owner was very unhappy. He was thankful to me though for actually making an effort to even get the plane there, but as you can guess that was extra...

Mr. Weavers' reasons for not flying it himself were quite ... entertaining. Did you even know he sub-sub-'contracted' it?

The owner really did not contact you??? I'll check with him and get back to you. Seems very unlikely I didn't know GAF was the intial point of contact...

That's enough out of me. All other communication will also be through PM.

I feel you Jetblu...

Save the GAF video conference/investigation drama for the FAA and FBI.

Too little, too late, but nice try!

The scam/party is over, isn't it.

You have nothing to lose by talking to him. The worst that can happen is that you finish the call in the position in which you are now.....

Jesus! It's like talking to someone with an ADD or a learning disability... Even advise from his colleagues to take the video call is spent unnoticed. First he is crying for attention, and then, when attention is given to him - he rejects it like a child.

Yeah, okay, Mr Troll, I'll save the drama for the FAA, the FBI, the CIA, and the Interpol.

Normal guys: I am done here. Pleasure talking to you all. If you have any information about the aforementioned cases - please email GAF corporate and we will be happy to look into it. Every complaint will be investigated in a professional and structured manner. Also, the offer to talk via Skype (if you still need proof that this is not RW and he is not a part of GAF) - stands.

Email me and i will be much obliged.

Otherwise, signing off and wishing all clear skies.

Like it..
"Every complaint will be investigated in a professional and structured manner."
In the same way that your obligation of Due Diligence was fulfilled?
Seems some people are a bit slow to wake up in the mornings.

Anyway, I do think you're going to need a good supply of industrial-strength deodoriser.
Happy landings.

I have to say that this latest exchange has not helped in dealing with the Weaver problem.

Let's look at it logically and unemotionally for a moment:

1. Weaver either is or is not a con artist and a fraud
2. He certainly was, at one time, associated with GAF
3. GAF now say that he is no longer associated with them


Some conclusions from the above:

1. There is a huge volume of complaints about Mr Weaver that leads me, at least, to believe that he has more than a case to answer

2. GAF either is part of a complex effort to deceive everyone and really is part of the Weaver constellation, or they are as much a victim as anyone else and their reputation is being destroyed because they were unlucky enough to get involved with Mr Weaver.

3. It is obvious that HH is worried about the impact that his association with RW has had on his business.

4. If he is lying about this: throwing vociferous allegations and insults at him here isn't going to prove that. He has offered to talk directly to those affected by RW's activities and has said he can provide documentary proof of what he says. If people think he is lying: call him out, give him the rope he has asked for and see if he hangs himself or not.

5. On the other hand: if HH is telling the truth, and nobody has yet demonstrated that he isn't, then those criticising GAF are simply using him as a surrogate for RW.

6. If that is the case, and as I've said before, I don't know what the truth in this is; but I am quite sure that throwing insults back and forth on this forum gets us no nearer to solving the Weaver problem than simply grabbing the nearest old woman we can find and burning her as a witch will stop next year's harvest being a bad one.

Another £.02 probably wasted.........

Everything I look at I look at logically and methodically. My views are unchanged. In fact, my views are more reinforced than ever. Whilst I appreciate your stance by sitting on the fence as an arbitrator, thereby giving Hudson Hawk the benefit of doubt, at post #93 I called him a bared faced liar,
I would have still called him the same to his face. I do not make any statement that a/ I can not back up. b/ that is untrue.

Hudson Hawk is very aware sh*t has hit the fan, big style! It was only a matter of when. He has only come here now in a last minute and failed attempt in trying to shift the criminal activities from his door. The party has come to an end and he doesn't like the mess from the aftermath at his door with fingers pointing.

I perhaps have more knowledge than you, so please accept what I have to say in the same way I would respect your personal knowledge.

HUDSON HAWK

Believe it or not, I have more important things to do than waste time listening to your sh*t on a video link. If you can't tell the truth here, I doubt you could anywhere. That said, as you know, you are 'part' of the Weaver fraud.

Good, honest, genuine aircraft owners have viewed your Global Air Ferry website and foolishly accepted what it has displayed. No unsuspecting person would know it represented a pack of lies!

Even your published base address was fictitious! How do I know?

Dear Steven,

I understand that Global Ferry Air allegedly operates from Hangar 21 on your airfield.

This company seemingly has links to Robert Weaver.

Can you please substantiate if this company is actually resident on your field.

Kind regards,
David

You have told every one here that I am a troll and may have put some doubt into peoples minds as to whether I am telling the truth regarding contacting you about Weaver's exploits. You say that didn't know about any of that.

Hmmm. You are not only a liar, you are dumb and totally unprofessional.

Mr Weaver is NOT FAA ATPL. Neither does he have over 100 Atlantic crossings.

Your website is enticing potential customers to a undesirable person with deceitful tendencies.

Dear Mr Sherwood,

Thank you for your acknowledgment to this very serious matter.

My name is David Green. I am just one of seventeen other known victims to Mr Weaver. There could even be more than that.

I purchased a Piper Saratoga SP from a Muncie Aviation, Illinois, USA and contracted Weaver to ferry my aircraft back to the UK.

On top of the ferry cost, Weaver also charged me for a ferry tank. It transpired that Weaver had NEVER fitted the ferry tank.

Weaver flew the aircraft from Muncie and got as far as Ottawa, Canada. Excuses being weather and a planned wedding that he had to attend in the UK. Both excuses were later to be found lies, along with the discovery of the phantom ferry tank.

When I could see other C182's PA32's and BE36's doing the same route I knew things were not quite right, but at that stage it was too late, I knew that I had been duped by Weaver.

I then had to employ the services of a genuine ferry pilot, incurring further expense. It goes without saying that I never got a penny back from Weaver.
Criminals don't generally give back do they.

In the end I reported the matter to the police. Weaver agreed that he had spent my money but also agreed to repay it back in nominal weekly amounts to a flying charity, FSD whom I had nominated.

Weaver then made a public apology for all his antics, but again, we were duped as he just went on to scam even more people.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
David

Something else for 'Hudson Hawk' to consider.....

Back in 2011 Global Air Ferry/SkyFerry/Weaver was associated with this famous PA31 Navajo ferry to Thailand.

This was another frustrated ferry with large bills for unpaid fuel en-route.

Global Air Ferry proudly advertises the fact that Weaver was the crew/PIC
HE WAS NOT! He again subcontracted this out to a Julian Storey, who came to Weaver's defence on another thread and said that he did not think Weaver's deceit was intentional. Well, we've had another 5 years of proof/history there to make our minds up about that.

Again, any unsuspecting owner looking at your GAF website would undoubtedly be duped.


Recent Aircraft Ferry Projects | Global Air Ferry | International Aircraft Transfer Service



Piper Navajo (US to Thailand)

Another recent project completed by on time and within the budget. Rob reports 250Knots en route with 80 knots tailwinds. These images outside Ken Borek at CYFB airport demonstrate another clever and economical aircraft defrosting technique: placing aircraft in a heated hangar for an hour before the flight in order to get the oil warm and icing melted off. This option is much cheaper then leaving aircraft in the overnight hangar, thus saving you money ot the total ferry expenses.

Where is HH today, I thought he was days off.
RW was the only pilot available from more than 1000 on file

Dave, I thought HH fought a couple of good rounds there but looks like you have a strong chin and now you have him on the ropes.

Actually I was pretty amazed when he said
The registered address of the base of operation of GAF is not the issue in this conversation
So advertising a false address is ok then, What could be the logical reasoning behind that then if not an intent to avoid detection??

The one question that HH has repeatedly chosen to ignore on here is the checking of Weavers documentation, now why would this be?

Evanelpus, if you recall, HH didn't want any questions posed here. He was quick on the uptake to visit the thread and immediately offer Skype, video conference, PM or Email. He wanted to come across as the good guy acknowledging the RW stench and bad publicity. [That's his story]

I'm not sure how many he managed to fool here with that chestnut, but it most certainly did not fool me.

He hasn't come back and I'm guessing he won't because he knows there is much much more.

I am not aware of anyone being in receipt of a 'doctored' copy of his FAA medical certificate. As far as Weaver is concerned, the status of his FAA medical is strictly private and confidential business. The mindset is that nobody challenges the teacher, doctor or captain, yes.

Weaver heavily relies upon young rookies wanting to build hours. This is where the illegal operation just touches towards being legal, but doesn't quite make it.
The 'rookie' will genuinely believe that RW is qualified to PIC status. Weaver will then sit in the RHS for alleged 'training' purposes and to satisfy insurance purposes with his alleged 3000 hours and 100 Atlantic crossings. That said, an insurance company has just said that the failure to report the material disclosure of having no current medical would render the insurance void, despite the rookie was fully current and with a current medical.

You must remember, many would post their bad experiences here but are unfortunately taking in by a/ false promise by RW to getting their money back b/ the wording on ALL Weaver's documentation, which in all honesty, is a more serious offence than the initial fraud itself.

You may recall...on 17th September at post #78...you said that you had removed RW from the Global Air Ferry website and would carry out an investigation.

It has been noted that RW/Skyferry has remained the No 1 preferred partner throughout the entire period.

AFAIR, when RW crashed the Seneca in Greenland in 2007 (2006?), an Air Greenland Bell Heli guided him in towards the football (soccer) field in BGNS/JNS.
