So? Originally, 13 planes (out of 25) were grounded for airworthyness issues. How come none of the bandits, piston cessnas, or king airs have been sold?
I have no idea what planes were originally grounded but doing some research i have found :
3 1900ds sold all the bandits sold and one caravan sold
And all of these planes except for the caravan were sold by the owners of Skyward. Even with the caravan sale though the owners came to the reciever with an offer for it from a company and the receiver then sold it for less then the offer that the owners had received for it. SKS is now flying for Calm Air.
Rumours: Pretty fresh??
Remaining caravans have offers pending on them also found by the owners
Trying to keep the conquests for some sort of operation.
Trying to keep the King Airs for something.
As for all the piston planes I have heard absolutely nothing about them but hear they are all very high time ie. INR SRL GMO
So looks like the owners have sold most of the planes that they have wanted to sell and are now trying to keep the ones that they still want.
And looks like the receiver still has no clue what they are doing just like the auction.
Oh and the reason no one bought the bandits to fly was because they had 28k to 24k hours on them and at 30k hours they need a spar strap and then there lifetime in canada is 40k hours from what I hear.
