Aes Rumor

[highbladedown]

Is AES up for sale.........just heard a rumor that that were close to being sold.

If so any idea who the buyer is? Just a rumor I heard through "As the Rotor Blade Turns" saga.

Also heard through "As the rotor blade turns" that Ultra took their machine from their business partner in Moose Factory. Just showed up one day and flew it away, leaving the grocery contract. I guess the island hasn't got their groceries for nearly a week.

Moose Factory? That wasn't Luke was it? I know that HT has a base there and provides the break up and freeze up services.

No it wsn't Luc. Dunn Helicopters had the contract, and were leasing a B206L from Ultra. There were concerns, including inquiries from TC system Safety regarding their operation, flight in MVFR, etc etc. Ultra sent some reps up to YMO unannounced, poked around, asked some questions and POOF, faster than CTD could get his boots on in a sheep pasture, they pulled their machine. Dunn still needs to service the contract, so last week, a CHL A-Star from Chiboooogamooo arrived. That's the scoop.

Did he get caught burning stove oil in the L again? Heard it was one of Universal's he had last time. He has to look outside of Ontario for because almost everyone here knows of him.

Thanks for the update saturnman, been a long time since I was in that part of the world, a very long time.

2 on 2 off for me...oh the joy, the bliss...

 

BTW, re the stove oil incident...last year he tried to buy bulk kerosene but the fuel supplier wouldn't sell it to him. And they got busted for hot-refueling, pilot outside, no-one inside, pumping fuel, righin full view of the world...that got shut down too.

Geez.....I remember refueling a 47 outta 5 gallon containers while the A/C was at idle.......ouch, watch out for the stab bar!!!!

What kind of power/performance would one get burning stove oil in a turbine? I would imagine that TOT would be higher? Any long or short term negative effects?
