"Tempus says it has already started marketing the aircraft's services to the Navy, USMC and NATO allies."
"Offsetting a portion of the USAF’s tanker needs to contractors makes so much sense, but cultural hurdles and fear of mission loss within the USAF will likely continue to block it from happening. It will take the right leadership to come along who can see the big picture over petty service heritage and cultural issues to get it done. Once the service realizes it can have more for less in the tanker department, the private tanking industry in the US will explode to meet the demand."
OHHH YEAHHHH !!!!
sorry kelli, the story is from august but atleast it gives a good idea what the plans are...cheers
ask our resident troll... im sure he has something to add...cheers
The point is that Mr Terry is out there doing thing's and making things happen while folks who like to sit back and complain or bych about everything seem to get all the attention. I would trust him more for that reason alone than someone who sits back and spends all their time whining on a message board...get it?? CHEERS
"Now, is everyone still so confident about this "definitive agreement"?"
yes i am... im very confident in Mr Terry rather than Mr Rob...cheers
just 1 more thing... Mr Terry i'm sure already has plans for where he will deploy these planes when ready and he's not asking for robs opinion if its a good deal or not so please dont worry any more about it...OK...cheers
according to this, they stole those aircraft....
"Some decommissioned jets stay in storage on the chance that they might one day fly again. On rare occasions, a retired jet will be sold to film or television productions, such as the 32-year-old Lockheed L-1011 TriStar bought by ABC for use on the television series “Lost.” Sometimes, you might even see jets transformed into hotels or purchased by aviation collectors with deep pockets.
More often, decommissioned aircrafts have their parts stripped for reuse or resale before being melted down for scrap. Almost every part of an airplane—even the toilet bowl—can be upcycled for use in newer planes. In other words, its components are modularized.
Secondhand aircraft parts are hot commodities because most still have a lot of life in them, but are much cheaper than ordering new parts from the manufacturer. About $2.5 billion worth of salvaged parts entered the air market between 2009 and 2011 alone. These parts may be sold overseas to countries that have different regulatory standards on which parts are still usable. Below is a rough approximation of the market prices for various components.
Engines are in highest demand because their turbines contain rotating blades and disks that must be swapped out on a regular basis to stay in compliance with aircraft safety regulations. Trading out these blades and disks for hand-me-down-parts can cost upwards of $2 million. That’s roughly half the price of using brand new parts.
Depending on its age, secondhand landing gear from a 747 can fetch up to $300,000. Cockpit screens go for $30,000 each. An auxiliary power unit might set you back $25,000. An inflight-service cart will cost around $200. Airlines can purchase spare parts by special arrangement with airlines, through a third-party reseller, or from a government liquidation marketplace. You may even be able to find them on eBay.
Once a jet has been stripped bare of usable parts, its metal frame is redeemed for scrap value. A 747 can fetch up to $55,000 for its scrap alone.
And who knows what happens to the scrap once it gets recycled? The next time you sip a can of Coke, consider that what you’re holding could have flown across the stratosphere before it landed in your refrigerator."
i noticed that too...that heavy day both the AC Vol. and chalkin line really headed north...good signs...cheers
i was lucky enuff for a double already in this stock...not like some who got in at .03 but in the .30's and sold in the .70's and now looking to triple so how ever you slice it...TMPS...has been good for alota folks and its really just warming up...cheers

Senate passes $700 billion defense policy bill, backing Trump call for steep increase in military spending
The Senate passed a roughly $700 billion National Defense Authorization Act
It failed to include an amendment that would have eliminated the automatic spending cuts under the controversial sequester mechanism.

The Senate passed a roughly $700 billion National Defense Authorization Act on Monday but failed to include an amendment that would have eliminated the automatic spending cuts under the controversial sequester mechanism.
The NDAA, which sets forth the Pentagon's budget and major programs for the next fiscal year, does authorize an additional $8.5 billion for the Missile Defense Agency to strengthen homeland, regional and space missile defense. That authorization is $630 million above the Trump administration's request.
The final vote was 89 to eight. It required a simple majority to pass the Senate.
The 2018 national defense bill also authorizes just over $141 billion for military personnel costs, including costs of pay, bonuses, benefits and moving expenses. It provides a 2.1 percent increase in pay for troops.
The legislation also includes money to increase troop numbers above the White House's request, adding thousands of new members to the Army and Marine Corps as well as boosting reserve totals.

President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he arrives at U.N. headquarters in New York, September 18, 2017.
Also in the final version for the defense bill is a provision that bars the Department of Defense from using security software products from Russian-based Kaspersky Labs.
In all, more than 300 amendments were proposed for the Senate's NDAA.
The House passed its version of the 2018 defense authorization bill (or H.R. 2810) in July, so Monday's passage means the House-Senate conference committee will need to resolve differences before sending the legislation to President Donald Trump.
The final Senate version of the 1,215-page bill includes a base budget of $640 billion and another $60 billion for the so-called Overseas Contingency Operations war funding, which includes money for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations.
One of those who voted against the NDAA was Tennessee Republican Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a member of the Senate Budget Committee. He released a statement saying he voted against it because the bill "exceeds the current budget caps by nearly $83 billion." Corker also was critical of the Overseas Contingency Operations funds, which he said have "been repeatedly abused to fund normal operations at the Departments of Defense and State in order to avoid exceeding statutory spending caps."
However, the Senate failed to vote on repealing the controversial sequestration in Monday's session due to a lack of quorum. Some Republicans charged it was hampered by deal making Democrats plan to use later on the overall budget.
"Whenever a Democratic senator says they are worried about the state of our military, that they are horrified at the kind of cuts that we're making, that they can't sleep at night because of what we're doing to troops in the field — don't believe them," Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas said Monday on the Senate floor when there was an insufficient quorum to take up the sequestration repeal measure he proposed.
Added Cotton, "My amendment was the last best chance in years to stop this bust-and-boom cycle of budgeting. But what do Democrats do — they threw it away."
Also excluded from the Senate's NDAA was an amendment that would have slowed Trump's ban on transgenders serving in the military. An amendment with "Buy America" provisions also wasn't included in the final defense bill and a measure that would have restricted defense spending on medical research also wasn't in the final version of the legislation.
LeadFX arranges $2.5M financing with Sentient, InCoR
2017-08-29 17:37 ET - News Release
Mr. Rob Scargill reports
LEADFX ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING
LeadFX Inc. has entered into a binding term sheet with Sentient Global Resources Fund IV LP and InCoR Energy Materials Ltd. for the issue of up to 3,125,000 common shares of the corporation at 80 cents per common share by way of a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.5-million, to close in two separate tranches.
Pursuant to the binding term sheet, Sentient and InCoR have agreed to purchase no fewer than 607,312 and 642,688 common shares, respectively, under the first tranche of the offering and no fewer than 910,969 and 964,031 common shares, respectively, under the second tranche of the offering. Proceeds of the first tranche will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the company based on an agreed schedule of budgeted expenditure, and proceeds of the second tranche will be determined by InCoR and Sentient pursuant to the budgeted expenditure needs of the company closer to the time of the second tranche closing.
"We are pleased to have the ongoing support of our technology partner InCoR and our major shareholder Sentient, as InCoR works towards completing a definitive feasibility study on their innovative hydrometallurgical process," said Rob Scargill, president and chief executive officer. "If the current study work is successful, we believe that the technology has the potential to transform Paroo Station from a relatively short-life lead concentrate operation to a longer-life, lower-cost lead metal producer."
The first tranche of the offering is expected to close on or about Aug. 31, 2017, with the second tranche of the offering expected to close on or before Oct. 31, 2017. The binding term sheet and the closing of the offering are subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive legal documents and the receipt of the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. As a further condition of the offering, subject to certain exceptions, LeadFX has agreed not to issue any additional common shares for a period of four months after the closing date of the offering without the prior written consent of Sentient and InCoR.
Following the completion of the offering, Sentient and InCoR will hold approximately 82.3 per cent and 3.9 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of LeadFX, respectively.

LeadFX issues 28.75 million warrants to InCoR
2017-08-15 18:12 ET - News Release
Ms. Jessica Helm reports
LEADFX ANNOUNCES ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS IN CONNECTION WITH INCOR TRANSACTION
LeadFX Inc. has issued 28.75 million common share purchase warrants following the finalization of definitive documentation and receipt of regulatory approvals relating to the previously announced arm's-length transaction with InCoR Technologies Ltd. and InCoR Energy Materials Ltd.
Pursuant to the transaction, among other things, (a) the company has now issued the warrants to InCoR, and (b) upon completion of a successful definitive feasibility study (DFS) with respect to the initial development of a hydrometallurgical refinery at the company's Paroo Station mine, InCoR will sublicense the technology (defined below) to LeadFX for no additional consideration pursuant to an agreed form of technology transfer agreement.
Warrants
The warrants were issued pursuant to two warrant certificates and will be exercisable, for no additional cash consideration, on the following terms:
80 per cent of the warrants (23 million common shares) are to be exercisable only upon completion of a successful DFS and have an outside expiry date of Aug. 14, 2019. The DFS will be deemed to be completed and successful if and only if it meets strict criteria, and delivers a superior economic outcome for LeadFX, including (i) a demonstrable Paroo Station life of mine of no less than 10 years, and (ii) Paroo Station life-of-mine gross operating cash flows minus refinery capital expenditures of no less than $450-million (U.S.);
The remaining 20 per cent of the warrants (5.75 million common shares) are to be exercisable only upon receipt of definitive environmental approvals by LeadFX to construct a hydrometallurgical refinery at Paroo Station and have an expiry date that is the earlier of (y) the date the DFS warrants expire unexercised and (z) March 20, 2027.
Technology transfer agreement
If the conditions precedent to the exercise of the DFS warrants are satisfied and as consideration for the exercise of the DFS warrants, InCoR shall execute the technology transfer agreement with LeadFX in order to sublicense the Technology to LeadFX. The technology comprise (i) an exclusive licence from BASF SE related to patented hydrometallurgical technology for "recovering lead from a mixed oxide material," which is subject to a granted U.S. patent, and pending applications in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Japan and Mexico; and (ii) a licence from the University of British Columbia related to patented hydrometallurgical technology for "recovering lead from a lead material including lead sulphide," which is subject to a granted U.S. patent, both of which utilize methane sulphonic acid (MSA) as a leaching agent. Under the terms of the technology transfer agreement, LeadFX will receive an exclusive sublicence of the technology from InCoR and shall be entitled to a further assignment of InCoR's rights in the technology, subject to meeting certain conditions relating to refinancing its current indebtedness and receipt of consent of an assignment from the technology owners. Following execution of the technology transfer agreement, LeadFX will have certain rights and obligations with respect to the use of the technology, which will include, among other things, assuming successful application of the technology to a future LeadFX hydrometallurgical refinery, payment of a technical services fee and payment of a 1-per-cent royalty on all the invoiced sales of MSA to a LeadFX facility. Once executed, the technology transfer agreement will be effective until the last of the technology patents expire, lapse, are abandoned or are held to be invalid subject to certain limited termination rights for InCoR, including failure to make a first commercial shipment using the technology within 10 years, uncured material breach of conditions, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of the company.
Assuming the full exercise of the warrants and no additional issuances of common shares, InCoR would own approximately 42.9 per cent of LeadFX's issued and outstanding common shares, expressed on a non-diluted basis.
DFS update
The DFS is being prepared by SNC-Lavalin Australia Pty. Ltd., at InCoR's cost, to apply the oxide technology to a hydrometallurgical refinery at the Paroo Station mine. Management of the company has been engaged in the past couple of months with InCoR and SNC-Lavalin to assist completion of the DFS. As part of the work being performed for the DFS, a drill sampling program has been completed at the Paroo Station mine to test the oxide technology on various ore types. With the drill sampling complete, InCoR expects to commence variability testing of the oxide technology on the various ore types by the end of August. InCoR anticipates that the DFS will be completed in the fourth quarter.
The oxide technology has the potential to transform the Paroo Station mine from a relatively short-life, moderate-risk lead concentrate operation to a longer-life, lower-cost, lower-risk lead metal producer. This, in turn, will provide a significant production platform on which to build a world-class lead resources business through the application of the technology at other mining projects and further development for application for other purposes including lead recycling. Until the DFS is complete, however, the company cannot provide any assurances with respect to the outcomes of the DFS, including whether the construction of a refinery at Paroo Station would be technically or economically feasible, or would increase the mine life.
A copy of the definitive agreements will be filed with the company's continuous disclosure documents on SEDAR.
