Secondly, we are doing some airframe modifications. We will be "retiring" Alas 12 this Spring, therefore we are "robbing" some modifications like wingtip extentions and putting them on Alas 10 since it will be staying in the fleet. Alas 12 will probably make it's voyage to the States sometime in April or May. Any buyers?
Thirdly, all of our airplanes are getting major instrument and navigation equipment upgrades. This process is very time consuming, and as you can tell labor intensive. Our radio technicians have torn into the cockpit and about cleaned it out, preparing for the new instrumentation that will be installed. "After" pictures will be sure to follow, although it might be 6-8 weeks before Alas 10 is online again. Once Alas 10 is done, Alas 11 and 13 will be following to receive their new engines and avionics. Alas 14 already had the equipment and airframe upgrades before it left the States, therefore it will just keep flying along keeping the rest of the fleet afloat while they are undergoing reconstructive surgery.
