Question Air America?

Heard some rumblings lately about Air America having problems. Anyone heard this too?

A guy that just started at our shop a month or two ago said he was at Air America, until they shut down. Said there was a bunch of legal issues and shady happenings.

Not sure how accurate his story is, but that's the word I've heard.

Wow! I had no idea!


Just reading it...

According to Pictometry, Air America kept some of their equipment and refused to return it. They are demanding $7,000,000 from Air America in lost revenue.

Civil Action No. 6:18-cv-06487

WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

I have a copy of the suit filed by Pictometry if anyone wants to read it.

And I read online one of the pilots killed in the Falcon 50 overrun in SC was the owner or president (someone high up at least) of Air America.

Oh wow....


Pilots Stephen Fox and John Caswell had flown planes for thousands of hours between them at the time of a jet crash that claimed their lives last week in South Carolina.

But federal records show neither man had the certification required to fly the Dassault Falcon 50 jet that slid off the runway of the Greenville Downtown Airport on Thursday, killing both of them and injuring two passengers on board....


Fox is listed in Florida state records as the registered agent for Air America Flight Services Inc. and Clearwater Aviation. The companies are headquartered at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport and provide executive flight charters, aircraft management, maintenance services and pilot training, according to their websites. Air America also has a location in West Palm Beach.

Actually I think it may be two different companies that are unrelated. AA Flight Center vs AA Flight Services.
