What's the status on the avionics in their planes? Rumor has it steam guages with no GPS?? I don't mind steam guages but the no GPS would be a concern when expected to fly in questionable weather.

Your education, spelling wise and aviation wise, seems to be lacking. Did you know most steam gauge equipped aircraft were flown for many many years with just VOR, ILS, ADF and usually DME without any GPS help. A bearing or two, a DME and a bearing and AIRMANSHIP enabled us to plan a descent and a low drag approach to anywhere in the world without being to high and fast or low and slow as long as your brain was involved and you were piloting not driving. There were, of course, guys back in that day who did not engage their brain and were lucky that ATC told them to do things that enabled them to land safely by just following ATC instructions in the US. Those guys shied away from international flying where some Airmanship was required.

Damn dude Piedmont or any other older tp operator would have eaten your lunch. Learn how to fly steam. You WILL be a better pilot for it...ALSO i'd rather have a radar then a GPS in poor wx.
