PA-31 350 private hire

Does anyone know of a company or individual willing to let loose of their Chieftain for a weekend of about ten hours of flying around Easter?
I do know it is normally the bread&butter earner of most charter companies but i am willing to do a check flight and being CPL,ME IFR, guranteed to meet your minimum req.'
PM me if you wish.

Sorry, forgot to mention, around Sydney basin.

bizzybody with all due respect, are you crazy?

Do you really want to hire an aircraft like a Chieftain out only to have some dick cranium run it lean as ****e in order to pay less for fuel?

Done that before have you?

you assume that either no body knows how to fly the thing or they are all trying to wreck it for everyone else.

They break it, nobody else will ever use it again.

Not everyone is out to screw the plane over

we have ways of finding out things like that IF someone was stupid enough to do that.

I think there are a few 206's up in Bris area, have a search around the D&G forum there are mentions of him somewhere on here.. or someone who knows the name will be along some time soon...

I think (roughly) VH-EIF ?

Nope.
