Boeing 747, First flight February
9, 1969. Introduction to service January 22, 1970, with Pan American
World Airways.

According to manufacturers, 747s
are capable of 20,000 cycles, so if that’s two flights per day at
8+ hours each, we are looking at 30 years. If a passenger 747–400
starts service in 1989, making 2018–2019 the logical 30 year -
20,000 cycle retirement date.

The 747 is an uneconomical gas
guzzler, four massive engines prone to bird strikes that can

The aircraft markings N508BB tell
the history of the aircraft, its age, previous and current owner/s.
You can also check from the markings if the aircraft has ever been
involved in any accidents. Also if it has a current airworthiness
certification. It has probably had more than one previous owner
because it previously carried the identity number B-18208.

It’s a 21 year old 747 that flew
for China Airlines a Taiwanese airline company until October 2017,
when it was stored in Victorville USA where jumbo jets go to die

These uneconomical monster relics of the 20th century often end up in
places such as the Southern California Logistics Airport — more
commonly known as the "boneyard." They can be bought really
cheap and are sold mainly for parts and scrap alloy from the
fuselage.

On May 23 the plane was flown from
Victorville to Phoenix, and then on May 24 it was flown from Phoenix
to St. Vincent.

British Airways have 35 747
waiting to be scrapped at the Southern California Logistics Airport
located in Victorville, California, about 80 miles northeast of Los
Angeles. This 747 has four gigantic ‎Pratt & Whitney PW4056
engines being simply too uneconomical to fly and service. All the
airlines are now using modern smaller, quieter two engine aircraft
which cost two thirds less in fuel than the 747.

I wouldn’t just be guessing if I
suggested one of Dr. Gonsalves children is involved in the venture.
But that does not matter at this time, that information can come
later, I have it ready.

If we didn’t know the identity
of the Vincentian owners, this aircraft could belong to anyone, drug
dealers, terrorists, or just be stood waiting to move a Venezuelan
despot and his generals to Dubai. According to the owners it will
carry 50 US tons of cargo, so they will be able to take a lot of gold
with them. But seeing as we know the owners we can perhaps count those scenarios out.

Who, from Saint Vincent would want
to fly to Dubai, other than those who have acquired a house there,
and I can assure you there is one or two Vincentians who have done
that, and several from Venezuela also, bolt holes. Anyone who can
afford to fly to Dubai would, I am sure prefer paying a little extra
and fly from somewhere else in a modern new aircraft.

What can be shipped from Argyle to
Dubai, we don’t have any produce or products suitable. Arabs are
fussy about what they eat, and nothing grown in SVG and packed here
would be acceptable to them. Also, remembering when they stayed in a
Villa hotel, no women may touch their food, because they class them
as unclean.

It could be used as a troop
carrier to carry Vincentian ALBA trained fighters with their fat
commander in chief to Venezuela to fight alongside the Caribbean Red
Army, which includes Vincentians, Cubans, Iranians, and Russians?
Because SVG is signed up to protect and fight alongside any ALBA
member and protect them from aggression from enemies, such as the
United States of America. We signed up for that year’s ago, so if
we want to move our troops with this old 747, it’s just the ticket
for a one off no return to base use.

Can you imagine an aircraft coming
from SVG, SVG owned, landing in any country that worries about drugs.
They will spend hours ripping it apart every time it lands, because
of where it comes from. SVG is the second largest grower of marijuana
in the Caribbean, after Jamaica. SVG is also one of the largest
distribution points for the South American cocaine trade. Our
political leaders association with the Venezuelan Maduro family who
has convicted cocaine smugglers from the family locked up in the US,
that will ensure that we have the right references by association.

Iran are currently searching for
747 parts to keep their aging obsolete fleet flying, unfortunately
for them they are US sanctioned, so unless someone flies them in a
whole aircraft they are out of luck.

The aircraft hasn’t even been
bought with real money, it’s leased. So it was not bought by
wealthy Vincentians, it was leased by two pilots and a boy whose
father may be stinking rich, stinking being the operative word.

Sitting in the open at Argyle or
anywhere else in the Caribbean will reduce the aircraft unusable in
twelve months due to salt blast. We know they cannot afford to build
a hanger unless the boy’s daddy puts the money in.

By the way DREGS, I was sitting
next to one of your children in Dubai in 2018. Is this as simple as
being driven by dynastical greed and approved by you, the Amerijet
wipeout that we discussed? Is an old scrapper of any use for the
purpose of cargo even? This B-747-400 scrapper was recently pulled
out of an aircraft boneyard, and was mystically flown to St.
Vincent’s Argyle International Airport under the story of a startup
airline by wealthy island investors for passengers and freight
service between St. Vincent to Dubai in the Middle East. Has anyone
ever read such BS, what a hoot!
