One of the problems that Kak Air have is that they are competing against charter companies for pilots. 400 hours is pretty steep for a scenic gig when there are competitors in the area that do flying other than scenics that will take guys with that level of experience.

Dont think JOF will be flying out after seeing the pics. A bent spar and two engines that are pointing about 45 deg downwards. The engineer that owns it reckons he will eventually recover it once the road opens but its a write off from an insurance perspective.

Must have been a hell of a lot of 'wind shear'!

I think the reason for the turn over in that particular job is that the partners might find Jabbas a struggle.


Looxsury should try living across the river in Oenpeli
