The only thing Beech family did wrong was allow the purchasers to use their name. I left in 1993 after 17 years with the company. My prediction based on the new Raytheon management culture was that the company would die. The management culture did not change when Hawker Beech came into existence. Beech Aircraft officially died in Feb 1980. Everything since is just death rattle.
Aircraft Photo of N8116L, Hawker Beechcraft Corp C90GTI C/N LJ-2042, Plane was ditched 04/03/2012, out of fuel, by Aruba Coastguard. You implied it ditched 04 13 2012.
She carried a 'N" number.....thats USA registered. However...she had a new registration number RESERVED............in BRAZIL. The aircraft in question WAS.......a C-90GTI...fresh off the production lines. Per the report..she sits in 4000 feet of water now and making a new reef. The info is there on the FAA site for the public to view.....they just don't make it easy to find. LJ 2042 might help
look harder.its there. Try accident reports......eh??
to anonymous 04 13 2012 10:12; are you trying to say it was a Hawker or an Embraer? I looked for planes ditching 04 13 2012 and found nothing. If N8116L is tail number nothing on it found.
OOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSS!!!
FAA.gov..........research N8116L. Released for flight on monday the 2nd out of Wichita..........Found ditched at sea on Tuesday 20 miles off of Aruba on its way to .......Brazil...the final costumer.(you can't make this stuff up) Winglets look like shark fins. Royal dutch navy did the rescue.and took the pictures for Miami FSDO. REAL glad the pilots were floating in a raft waiting pickup. Fuel starved ..is the prediction from the report. No passengers???....no fuel. Going out over water like that its had to ponder NOT topping the tanks in Florida the day of the flight. Can just hear the pilot say...........just give me 10 bucks worth. Thats real reassuring. Glad my stamp ain't on her............FOR SURE.
Why did you just move the comments from April 4 to this article. New article should have only new comments.
It's nice that all people are worrying about it the one's that work @ HBC and not the people that work at the subcontractors that do work for them. I hope they can pull it together but it doesn't look like it and that makes me worried about my job. So to all you who think that this is joke.....think again. Why don't you give me some money Miller so I can support my family and put food on my table while you drive your fancy cars and eat at those "fine dining" places. Ramen....he we come!!!!
I hope that the new guy Miller is not blind to see the dead wood he has under him, given all the reject Gulfstream guys now six figure $$ HBC jobs. They are just in it to milk the cow. Send them back east with no golded hanshake. Mr Miller PLEASE go research and bring back in the right experianced Beech and Hawker talent that was pushed thru the door. That experiaince was let go, mostly by petty maliace and vendetta by the the top guy and the HR dept was criminal. All we have left now is Vps and Dir, waiting to stuff their pockets with borrowed cash and run
I believe Walter Beech is rolling over in his grave about now knowing a once proud aircraft company(Beech)is in total melt down being run in to ground by a bunch of incompentent idots.
Heard they might sell HBC to Honeywell and Fairchild and rename it "Farewell Honeychild"
Maybe the Chinese will step in to help
Schuster is to blame for a lot of what is happening today. It was his total lack of aviation skills and self gratfication (big bonus checks for himself) and just killing the talent and sprit that lead to this mess Then pass it to his "over the hill mate" from Gulfstream to complete the sad story. Its all a game to those kind of guys. They dont give a dam about the people and product.
and the union workers nothing hehehe
