Hmmm - are you sure that's not the other way round?

I heard that both Yellowhead and Mustang were getting some of the VFR fleet. It will be interesting to see what the truth is!

It will, because VIH own Cougar, or at least they did.

Mustang and Yellowhead have split the VFR fleet but VIH have kept the operating certificates.

Actually Ken Norrie owns Cougar, as he does VIH and VIH-Cougar and other companies.

What is being sold off is VIH, which is the domestic VFR fleet and operations.

Partially true.....

From another source:

Mustang has purchased 12 of their aircraft and they will be delivered mid may. There is an offer on the table from another interested party to purchase the remaining aircraft (from what I can tell thats the remaining 8 Astars and possibly Kamovs) and run it under the VIH logo, but not under the Norie empire. However, so far , the company.........VIH...........HAS NOT BEEN SOLD.
