At least they would be doing well in Darwin if they could find/keep a Chief Pilot.

Meatloaf needs to change the title of that song "1 out of 4 ain't bad"

VA holds the record for the shortest time on the Centre run before they pulled out!

Upwards and Onwards, boys

So what are we saying here? Pete shouldn't go into business somewhere if there's a chance he may offend those already set up in the market? Must have missed that one in Economics 101 - although to be fair there wasn't a lot I paid attention to, which is why I'm now selling used chewing gum in Manners Mall...

As has been said, PV has been around a while and has a wealth of aviation experience. Sure he has been through good and bad times, but he's still around, which is more than can be said for many.
Not sure who the CP is at the moment (is it the ex sandpit guy?) If so, he is an enthusiast who has a lot of experience and a proven work ethic. Just the sort of chap that more GA operators could use.
Well done Pete, and if a 737 is on the cards, then good for you. Hope it works out well for ya

Airwork has very successfully run the ex-Air NZ 737-200 NQC for many years, and what a great machine. It now has an upcoming C7 check, which will provide NZ post with mnay years of profitable flying.

I hope Pete buys a few and we see them roaring round the NZ skies again

Seems the B737 idea has now been shelved, with the reason stated that fuel is too expensive, and the Dash-8 purchase has also fallen through.

who gives a fricken crap what they are doing

you could sit here all night and post rumours about vincent aviations thoughts and paths, but that would be a waste of time, similar to logging on to pprune and reading all the crap that gets written on here by people with toooo much knowledge on everything and way to much time on their hands.

go do something constructive with your time
all of you


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa FW's!

Bad language?
