The rumour mill is turning full speed again with the latest being that the Boeing BBJ has been selected as the Giv replacement/addition?! The lads were sayin that it could be delivered around the same time as the pc-9's! Now dont go off on a nutty lads this was something I "overheard" because they were talkin about the allocation of tail numbers to the new a/c and mentioned that "the new jet (BBJ) might be '258' if it arrives before the pc-9's". I shall investigate some more and get back to ye!!

I don't suppose anyone floated the idea of keeping the GIV and converting it to the ELINT surveillance configuration (can't remember the designation) for MPA, Border surveillance and peace support?

The Boeing makes sense as each day goes by with the huge savings. At Christmas the € was worth $0-89 now it is worth $1.17! It is rumoured to go as high as $1-25. Thus before we know it the total price willl be much lower, leaving more spare cash for other a/c - perhaps hels or the new jets? FF

one bad thing about the corps getting a bbj is that it would be even harder to keep aircrew in the corp both flight and ground crew. im sure mr. ryan will be really happy to hear that. free training for his employees
