It would be insane to trust HBC with the upcoming LAS contract. The company is about to go bankrupt and the AT-6 is an unproven prototype.

Damn, that’s very bad news. I have a very good friend that started to work there, about a year ago. Changing careers again, in your 50’s is no fun.

Half of Hawker Beech is owned by a Canadian company.

The other half is owned by Goldman Sachs.

Sounds like time for another government bailout....
