Lovely paint-job, but please tell me, that its not the same aircraft, they used for
spraying chemicals on oil-polluted seas. That AC was rotten to the core and ready for the scrap yard.
Those chemicals and aircraft structure just don’t go well together.
Wow, Mondariz, that’s pretty strong!
Do you have any evidence to suggest there is anything wrong with this aircraft? I imagine an airplane maintained in accordance with an EASA Transport (Passenger) Certificate of Airworthiness must have to meet some kind of minimum maintenance standard. If the UK aviation authorities shared your view I guess they’d probably have grounded her by now. They haven’t so I guess they don’t. The pilots probably have wives and sweethearts so I don’t suppose they’d play around with a suspect aircraft either. And I’m certain that the engineers themselves actually travel on this aircraft. That’d be a foolish thing to do if they thought it was “ready for the scrap yard”.
If I cast aspersions about an airline operated aircraft I’d want to be really sure about my facts. Saying that kind of stuff could really hurt them.
I understand that the chemicals used for pollution spraying were basically a strong detergent. But since G-APSA never actually carried anything stronger than tap water its a bit like expecting the rain to rot your windows.
Congratulations to the hard working team of engineers who look after G-APSA and all her stablemates. It’s a tough job that deserves some recognition.
Well done guys. I love the new paint job.
