AirAsia’s Fernandes Caterham Jet Acquired Berjaya Air
Peter Smith replied to michgyver's topic in General Aviation
Challenger 850, 870 and 890 are all factory conversions of the CRJ-200, 700 and 900 respectively, but you are correct, the article is not referring to a Caterham order. -
Wells Fargo are the go-to bank for many aircraft transactions in the United States - particularly foreign aircraft owners who want their aircraft have an N-number/registration (which can actually lead to increased resale value given the strict FAA regulations that are imposed). Whilst this aircraft may be registered to Wells Fargo, it is no doubt operated for a very wealthy firm/individual with no connection (beyond financial) with Wells Fargo themselves. There is over 6300 aircraft registered in Utah, a large proportion if not the majority will be in someway connected to Wells Fargo

Great to hear that all ended well. -
KLIA security questioned after Malindo landing mix-ups
Peter Smith replied to Naim's topic in General Aviation
Security at any airport is not just the reponsibility of those employed specifically for this role - who simply can not be everywhere, all the time - but also that of all airport/airline staff from the cleaner to an airline CEO and everyone above, below and in between. To blame the security force for these major incidents is not totally fair, nor will it necessarily resolve the issue from occurring again. Many airports are also harnessing their volunteer security workforce - spotters - most of whom have a sound understanding of what is considered "normal" at an airport. Whilst in this specific case would have been no use, it is proven that spotters are excellent sets of eyes and ears to ensure the security of an airport is upheld. -

The "Twin Otter Spotter" blog has a couple of photos. It looks great. See:http://www.twinotterspotter.blogspot.com -
Between a 500 and 600 series there are no external differences. The big changes are the flightdeck and a newer version of the PW127. The only way to tell other than rego, is to look at the top of the fin (it says 600 instead of 500)

Great stuff, Patrick! Especially like the head on with 9M-FIA.
