Speaking of a guy who did well down there. Never met him but those I know spoke well of him.

Yeah he is still there. Retired from AA as a B-777 Captain 2 years ago, now he is running the FBO/Charter operation out of STX. Good guy, stop by and say hello.

I do not know what you are talking about when you said that I did not want anybody to fire a extinguisher in any of my BE-18s. I never had a fire extinguisher in any of my Be-18s so how could I have had them wired off. I guess that shows what kind of pilot you were.

Hi Paul, small world.

Heard one of the B-18 pilots said something about the firebottles, the guy is dead now so I won't mention names.

If you never had bottles in the -18s, then it was obviously bad information.

How are you anyway, lont time, no see.
Have not seen you or the planes in STT for many years so I guess you retired?

Still on the Island?

I started flying big planes in 1988 overseas so I have only been back to STT for the occasional vacation.

Hope all is well with you and the family.

:OEverything has been going well. Retired about 4 years ago and am still in St. Thomas. We have a house in Florida that we spend about half of the year. It is in Sebastian not far from Vero Beach. Yes, the information about the fire bottles is incorrect. I never had any in the BE-18's. Be rest assured, that is if I had any they would have been working well. I may have been a little on the wild side but never took any chances with my employees or equipment. Looking back over the 35 years that I operated the airline, we still had a excellent safety record. We are very proud of that. I do not think that I could have been able to live with myself if I did not done that. Well, anyways, Hope to see you one of these days. Are you still flying?:8

4 Star still running?
 

Heard in the rumour mill that 4 Star are not operating at the moment - what news?:confused:

I hope they don´t open again. The CEO, owes a lot of money to people in Puerto Rico.

He employs people as independant contractors and when he decides that he doesnt need you you cant claim unemployment benefits.

I still remember when he hired me he said: welcome to the best airline in the Caribbean! hahaha

He is a lier not a lawyer. When I worked there we didnt know if was a money laudring company or he was that stupid!

But if it ever opens again, STAY AWAY!

Any more word on if Four Star are operating. Last I knew was only one 3 flying (N131FS) and (N135FS) being worked on

According to the St Thomas Source, http://tinyurl.com/ykubj99 , Four Star lost its mail contract in November 2009 after an FAA action.
