Look at that, even the FAA says "SOON"!
If common sense alone can't tell you they will soon be certified I don't know what facts will ever convince you! The good news is that you and a few others are the minority and most know BLTA will soon be certified!
agreed!
Thank for the IT help speck! And yes no damage like some have posted! N706BL is in perfect shape!
"Baltia's Plan
Baltia plans to increase its fleet of airplanes after initiating revenue service. At the time flight service is inaugurated, the Company plans to employee approximately 30 management and 50 crew members and staff.
It will be soon! Just be a little patient and good things will come. I drove by the plane today and they had crews doing maintenance on N706BL. They were on a lift and the portable power unit was running under the plane. Also could see people up in the pilots window moving around. Look like they where getting ready for something. Humm what could they be getting ready for?? Well just have to see this week I guess!

Yes I am feeling warm and fuzzy! It won't be long!
You are correct at saying the FAA cant tell Baltia not to release a PR. Yet the FAA DOES have the power to tell Baltia not to allow certain classified information out regarding the certification process. So in a weird way the FAA is telling Baltia not to PR things. If it was all public information someone here would have been able under the freedom of information act, been able to get the documents of the last Mini from the FAA. It's a federal agency and by law they must release it, unless of course it is CLASSIFIED info!!
Another smart move by Baltia! Make a profit first before spending unnecessary expenses! Debt free operations!
Blue interior. The outside is white with a red tail and golden rooster on it too! The tires are black with silver rims. The bathrooms have white seats and stainless steel bowls.... I know not gold bowls like one might think!
The first four words are correct!!!
BLTA will soon be in the air doing proving flights!
And they will shortly be certified!!
What are they bidding on? They don't have the certification yet. So they are bidding on (1)747, 9 pilots, a office in New York and Willow run and a Van? Lol okay! Now once Baltia gets certified and starts to be profitable and purchases multiple planes, then I could see other airlines wanting to purchase the airline. Years down the road people! And even with that I don't think Igor would sell, that's just the kind of guy I hear he is!
I don't get your post? So you are saying virgin, UAL and Southwest all are going to buy Baltia? That doesn't even make sense. How can 3 companies all buy one company?? It would make more sense that Baltia was buying all those companies... One company can logically buy 3 others. Or maybe it has nothing to do with Baltia at all (the most logical) and those 3 companies are in the works of a merge? Who really knows, but I don't see a merge of any type at this point.
It doesn't matter if I'm the only one allowed to play the course! Not buying it as an investment, just some pocket change with what will be made here! Still here after 8 years, must have faith they will still be successful then huh? Most would have hung up the coat and move on to another investment if they didn't feel they would a success after 8 years! It shouldn't be much longer of a wait for you, because SOON we will be doing Proving Flights and will have Part 121 certification SHORTLY after that!
Posts can be changed for the first 15 minutes after you post something. The initial post I was replying to stated something to the effect of " what did baltia move its operations to Canada?" but that was removed shortly after posted and after I posted my comment. The post had the host of the websites address which is from Canada in bold. I was commenting back that the host being from Canada is irrelevant. If Baltia wants to have a host in Cuba I could careless, it was probably the choice of being cheaper or where the designer of the web page recommended. Doesn't matter
Baltia please stay on the course you currently are on so I can buy the whole golf course! We are so close to being Amercias newest Airline without debt to worry about! Shortly we will be very Rich from BLTA! You will soon see!
So Baltia can't use a company to host their website that is based in Canada? Who cares that it is a Canadian company. Did you know that Michigan and New York both border Canada? I know it's crazy but we have a pretty good relationship with Canada. I don't even need a passport to go there. Willow run is about 30 mins to the Windsor border.
I also found an interesting part of your post!

Wow!!! Great find and awesome job on the DD!! Only one reason to launch an operation website! We are getting close people! Have a feeling this is going to be a great week!
From what I have gathered it is only the front nose gear that is being upgraded. If all the landing gear was being switched out I would concure that it may take 1-2 months, but just the nose gear I'm going to say more like 1-2 weeks. Planes can be ordered with multiple options. To say that the landing gear on all 747's have the max capacity of the aircraft is just not true IMO. Each plane is spec. out to handle the intended requirement of the airlines use. Smaller gear in the nose could have been a cheaper option at the time Northwest purchased the plane, without any intent to carry large payloads of cargo. Just my opinion though!
I guess if you want to believe some editor that more then likely has no clue what is happening behind the scenes with Baltia, go ahead and get out when you can!!! "The sky is falling the sky is falling"Lol. I for one just picked up an additional 820k shares a few days ago because I know how close we are. The choice is yours, hope you make the correct one!
I'm still optimistic about proving flights starting before the end of the month. Worst case beginning of October. This is just my opinion thou from facts I have gathered over the last week. Slight delay from what I said before of Mid September, but I won't be to off from that!
Remember who ultimately wins the race thou.... The tortoise! Be patient and finish line will come and be ever so rewarding! Baltia will be Flying very soon!
Yes it does make sense! An upgrade of the gear is really not that long of a process and once it is upgraded the international proving flights can carry Cargo during the proving runs. Start making a profit. Seems to make sense to me!!
Nope, nothing wrong with the current nose gear, just an upgrade to be able to handle extra load capacity. It will not be upgraded until after domestic proving flights are done.
There is no link, the Pope personally told me he would fly Baltia!!! We are buds! Oh my this is just wonderful!
My Buddy John told me this today!!!
Hey Firestream did someone mention nosegear?
Not to worry about that one either.
You see, I entered into a somewhat risky real estate deal at the beginning of this year (You may recall that I mentioned that), and I promised myself if it panned out I would set every dollar of the profits from that deal off to the side for Baltia Air Lines (it really amounts to "found" money for me).
Fortunately, I still have quite a hand full of those dollars left.
The nose gear is going to be addressed during the short break in the schedule between domestic and international Proving Flights.....and that scheduling is just waiting for the final thumbs up from the FAA on the passing of the mini.
(which, BTW, IMVHO, is quite imminent....................)
I also believe that once the passing of the mini is announced, there will be a whole new group of investors who will have suddenly found their balls (undoubtedly tucked away all these months in a kitchen cabinet somewhere, in a place that only their wives know where and how to find them).
At that point in time, I will be passing the torch on to a bunch of newbie Baltia investors willing to take America's Newest Airline to infinity and beyond..................
Go Baltia!
Godspeed!
I mis read your post I agreed with you on previously and disagree with you on this post. Like Choover stated this is an upgrade to the gear to handle additional load capacity. This is not an overhaul of the gear, it is upgrades. Will not take that long as you have quoted for a full overhaul!
That's the cool thing about automobile, you can drive them to other places!! Once I drove my truck from Michigan to New York and back.... I know it's crazy but it took about 7-8 hours!! Believe the van is here in Michigan!
Nice pic!! I have seen that van driving around town many times!
Anytime!! Glad to help inform BLTA shareholders of what is truly happening!
"Baltia's Plan
Baltia plans to increase its fleet of airplanes after initiating revenue service. At the time flight service is inaugurated, the Company plans to employee approximately 30 management and 50 crew members and staff.
I agree with your statement!
Nope, it is public if you live in Michigan near Willow Run and see a Van full of Pilots driving down the Road in a Van with a Golden Rooster on the side! You can do some good DD and find out the same stuff I have my FRIEND!
So I will start off by saying I was a little off by stating Mid September, though not by much. A few things have yet to be done first that have come about over the last week in preparation for proving flights. I'm very optimistic that we will start before the end of the month still and worst case first part of October. I know many will criticize what I say, and I understand why. But from the information I have gathered as of this week, Baltia is still vigorously plucking away at little tasks that need to be accomplished for certification as we speak! Can't go into details, but things are still 100% moving forward. To give you a hint... Flight crew is still at Willow Run!!
