Coors Brewing Co flight department?
 

Anyone know if Coors Brewing Co has a flight department? Retiring from the mil in 8 mos, looking at all options besides the usual players... Thanks.

think they are now MllerCoors.....part of the Canadian company Molson, who is part of SABMiller out of South Africa?......eh hell, now I need a beer.

They use to have a hawker 800 a couple of yrs ago. I did a contract trip on their airplane while they were going through some pilot heart aches. However, not sure about what they have nowadays.

The 800A sold a year, year and a half ago I think.

Did they turn it into a beer can?

Nah, that's territory reserved regional jets.

Besides, old Hawkers don't die, they just end up in Mexico and South America and Africa.

Not sure what MC is operating now, but at least one of MC's Hawker pilots landed on his feet okay.

Miller does not have a flight department. I used to fly the CEO around when I flew 135

I believe the Hawker came into the merger with Coors; IIRC it was based in Denver before moving to MDW.

Was it at BJC?

I don't know, to be honest.

Rocky Mountain International, formerly Jefferson County "Jeff-Co". Just Northwest of Denver.

Rocky Mountain Metropolitan

it will always be JeffCo.... any thing else... well thats just sub par

LMAO! And this is what happens to them once they get to Africa..... Botswana recycling program. Missle vs. Hawker 800!

On 6 August 1988, the Botswana Air Wing British Aerospace 125-800, flown by Col. Albert Scheffers (CO Botswana Air Wing) and British Aerospace transport pilot Arthur J. Ricketts, carrying the president of Botswana, J. K. Quett Masire and eight other passengers, was underway at 35.000ft over Angola. All of a sudden, those on board heard a loud bang and there was an explosive decompression of the cabin. The aircraft yawed, rolled and dived almost at once and then a shower of fan blades from the starboard Garrett TFF.731-5 engine was observed as it separated away from the aircraft and went in forward direction. The aircraft was hit by one of two R-60/AA-8 Aphid missiles fired at it from an Angolan MiG-23ML interceptor. The first missile hit the starboard engine and ripped it together with the entire pod off the aircraft. The second missile then hit the same engine after it was already off the aircraft. Col. Scheffers regained control of the aircraft at 28.500ft, completed an emergency shutdown and thus preserved the other aircraft systems. 2.000lb of fuel in the right wing and one engine were lost, and there was extensive damage to the right wing and flaps. The aircraft spiraled down and then landed at Cuito Bie, in Angola. Subsequent inspection reveald that the hydraulic pump, starter/generator and alternator were still attached by hoses and cable looms. Angola apologized to Botswana for the missile firing, especially as usual air traffic control clearances had been received before the presidential trip. Nobody on board the aircraft suffered serious injuries, and the aircraft was subsequently repaired.
