two of them look like nexjet regs.

C-GJMT was nextjet and a friend of mine flew it, i think these are mostly nextjet planes so most likely not in very good condition.

The NexJet stuff was always having issues. I know a rampie at YKZ where most of the registrations lived and he says unless they are dirt cheap u are getting an abused under maintained POS.

Just heard from my buddy that there is no point in bidding on the aircraft, they all got sold (early last week) to a company where the PREVIOUS OWNER works.

What a wonderful system here in Canada????

Makes me want to go fly food relief in Africa where it is safer.

There is a huge difference between buying a wreck out in the mountains and restoring it for a flying museum; and buying a POS navajo.

The defects in an isolated crash are gonna be addressed with TLC and new parts.

The POS navajo is gonna go from one "maintenance free" operator to the next. Eventually some poor kid is gonna die after paying for their PPC, because they airplanes' prop deice, vacuum pumps, high pressure pumps are gonna fail, or the prop won't feather... and that'll be that. People wil be saying, that's so sad, Fred was such a nice guy, and how can that happen...

Companies that won't maintain their aircraft manage by fear and intimidation. Generally they don't do a good job of training. They don't pay their crews well.

Fortunately for them new kids coming up never know the history of these POS machines, so they always get new cannon fodder.
