Absolutely they do... I personally know of at least a couple at TC with experience as inspectors and AME's on 747's.

Destination is MMTJ.
The FAA has given it authority to overfly the USA.

So I am assuming that the supposed maintainence issues were dealt with, and TC and the FAA were both happy with the current state of the airplane?

Do not assume that the maintenance issues have been handled...this is GPI and KA Paul..if he can get away without fixing something he will..... Here's hoping that he has a highly qualified crew to get it out of YQT.

Cant figure out all the interest in this thing? Just kick the tires, light the fires, and put the spurs to her! It gets dark every night!

If anyone worked on that plane I certainly hope you get paid.....They owe so many crew members and employees

From what I understand Matrix is now just a hangar...the plane was parked on the ramp by the hangar. No longer a repair station....
