Dear Editor,
In purchasing two dino-saurs, Dr Luncheon disagreed with the opinion of Mr Gouveia, noting that the administration had sought the advice of Lex Barker from Instant Security Service. Does Lex Barker do crime fighting with his Bell 206?
The JetRanger is popular with news media for traffic and news reporting so I’m convinced that we have equipped GINA. The Bell 206 is a 4 seater. Are we going to be engaging the 25-member gang with these 4 personnel or we’ll be deploying both helicopters with 8 personnel and use the Prados and BMWs as our reserves? We might be better off sending them to join the gang and greet their buddies. At the end of the confrontation, would we be evacuating any victims or is the aim to kill everyone?
The helicopter registered with serial number 3012 and FAA Number N2464X is registered to D&P INVESTORS LLC (Corporation) WOODLAND HILLS, CA 91364, US, (http://www.aircraftone. com/aircraft/models/bell_206b_1181511.asp). Then, how is it that this helicopter “flew-in” from Costa Rica.
According to the manufacturer’s MSRs and FAA FAR requirements for maintenance:
With 11000 flying hours: MR – Blade time remaining, TR – Blade time remaining, TT- straps time remaining, the retirement for this helicopter would be June, 2008. Otherwise to keep it operational, it would require a complete overhaul, (effectively costing the same as a new helicopter).
Dear Government, your manner of approach of doing things really reflects negatively towards Guyanese living and working in foreign countries. It’s embarrassing having to convince our colleagues that the members of the Guyana government are new generation scholars. Please seek proper advice from a wider circle of professionals.
Some of us are craving to make a positive contribution to the Guyanese society. Listen to the Managing Director of Roraima Airways, Gouveia, the guy is not just trying to be critical, I’m sure he will be willing to advise you better or perhaps you can recruit me to do some research for the government during my frequent coffee-breaks.
In purchasing these 1980 machines for $300 million did the government submit any requests for quotes, and if so, who are the vendors you approached?
Since you are purchasing used equipment, perhaps it would have been cost effective to visit http://www.controller.com/ and get a few quotes and then do some consulting.
Not to mention that you would have been given a fair deal since we are a poor nation desperately in need. This would have saved the Guyanese taxpayers millions.
God help Guyana!
Yours faithfully,
David Singh
