Very interesting you should bring that up. Gary Fears does lease the Ilyushin-78 to TADF, however Mr. Fears is the largest stakeholder in TADF so it appears they have a good deal goin. If you can read between the lines

Mandy, to understand better, you need to look into the history of TADF. Particularly around the time TADF was created. There was a group of investors, who still hold a majority with non-diluted shares. HOWEVER, They have a chance now to hook up with a very legitimate firm and make money on government contracts. IMO, I don't think Tac-air will stand for anything that would hurt their image and probably has been assured that the original group of shareholders won't be playing games. TADF may have a sordid past, but at this point I think that TADF has a decent shot at making money. That will increase the PPS for everyone involved. And that's why I'm holding my shares.

Yes, but he might have been "sold" the IL78.

I read up about the IL78 and it uses a fueling system that operates on different pressures and is completely incompatible with US (and probably NATO) airplanes. Only good for Russian. Of course, could contract plane out to service Russian aircraft I would think these days.

Then about 10 years ago, there was a push to use these airplanes to fight forest fires. There were issues and that never happened. That is probably a stone cold dead end these days.

There was talk that the airplane needed FAA certification and they couldn't do it because they didn't have translated flight manuals. I have some aviation contacts and actually found some people who would do the job. I left Gary Fears a message and he never replied.

I have a feeling TADF may go quiet indefinitely and once everyone has forgotten all the promises, a new completely new promotion will be used to run the stock up again. Of course, that is my worst case scenario. If you really want to get Paranoid, recall that Cornucopia is out of the Bahamas.
