Good post BillJay but respectfully you don't have all your facts straight.
Johan could have taken the plane back and sold it on the open market to recoup his money. TMPS could NOT have returned the plane. It was being used by NASA to film the Hawaiian coral reef system at the time when Johan made that demand. Furthermore, TMPLS reputation with the government would have been in the toilet for future government bids.
He probably could have easily sold it to the government or the prime contractor since it is currently being used as part of a gov contract. As far as Johan reselling the Gulfstream Jet ... are you kidding me? The Gulfstream Jet was tricked out and modified with Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) technology. And was FAA Certified. The modification project took 5,000+ engineering hours to complete. Why would the government want to buy it from Johan, when they initially passed on that opportunity? Could it be they lack "expertise" in that department, so they outsourced the project to Tempus, which aircraft modification is their specialty.
... IN REGARDS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A TEMPUS INTERMEDIATE (TIH) RE-MERGER WITH TEMPUS APPLIED HOLDINGS (TASH)? I do NOT foresee a merger between these companies simply because they were previously one company prior to TASH's merger with Chart Acquisitions (CA). After the TASH/CA merger, TIH was spun out as a separate entity and a Non Compete Agreement was signed by TIH, and TASH. It expires Jan 2019.
