You absolutely wright in everything you write. I know the plane, it's worn and has lots of issues.
It won't be able to fly across the ocean, actuarily the problems will arise much sooner, during the prooving runs, if they ever get that far.
Baltia has also financial issues. They need lots of new money in order to keep the operation running.
And for everybody to know, last weeks mini-evac was another failure (#7). Always problematic door in front of the plane was the reason. The slide inflated, but developed another problem, which made the whole mini-evac to fail.
Don't expect any announcement about mini from Baltia anytime soon.
I wish BALTIA would succeed, but they had to get much newer plane in oder to achieve that.
