    Who's Interested In Saab?

    With Saab heading into bankruptcy, companies are coming in to snap up pieces of the brand.

    Hans Bergqvist, the administrator in charge of liquidating Saab told Swedish publication NyTeknik that many companies are interested in Saab's assets.

    Berggvist did confirmed that one of the companies interested is Youngman Automotive. This should come as no surprise as the company tried to save Saab until the last minute and has invested tens of millions of euros to help pay for wages and taxes. A spokesman for the company said that it was primarily interested in the Phoenix platform that would have underpinned the next-generation 9-3 and possibly other technologies that didn't involve GM.

    But there is another party that is also interested in Saab's assets, the Turkish government.

    Turkey has numerous auto factories on its territory; Fiat, Renault, Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai all build cars there. But Turkey doesn't have their own brand. Buying up some of Saab's assets could help the country begin building their own car.

    According to the report, the Turkish Embassy was in contact the ministry talking about Saab.

      True, but in far more socialist countries, I suspect they have far better maintenance than in a capitalist society where profits are key over all else. Yes we have seen plenty of old planes all the way back to WWI that are still flying, but they have been taken care of far better than I think many for profit companies do on maintenance. Just like Ford with the Pinto, was cheaper to take the legal hit over that bomb mobile than to fix the problem from the start.

      I absolutely love the design on this, and out of the park home run IMHO.

      I have had a couple of amazing black cats.  The planes we use to fly into huricanes are decades old... They regularly go through checks where the whole interior is stripped out and the whole plane is inspected. I feel fine flying on a 25 year old aircraft. That being said, In Hawaii a roof blew off of a plane once, a stewardess got blown out of the plane, but everyone else was buckled in, landed fine. Plane obviously never flew again, was a Boeing 737. But that plane had a ton of cycles, as it was used on very short haul flights.

      That just means that it needs to be trained on what you're writing on. The more you use it, the better is gets (usually). I did quit grammarly because it was making changes I didn't like, but Microsoft's grammar checker seems to do pretty well now that it knows me.

      Canada's waterbomber fleet These guys Manitoba's fleet is 40 years old While Quebec's youngest fleet is also at 40 years old while its oldest is 53 years old.     Spain, Greece and France also have the same age range as Quebec's.  The older version which is the CL-215,  is 50 years plus in service for all that use it. They are still flying.  The next gen CL 415 is 30-40 years in service for all fleet users.  Canadair/Bombardier has sold the license to Viking and they are currently working on updating the airplane. It is called the CL 515.   European users are desperately wanting to replace their fleets.  Deliveries of the new CL 515 is said to be in early 2026.  With the water bombers, its not just cycles that put pressure on the sheet metal for metal fatigue. Its the weight of the water itself taking off from a lake. But mostly, when the water gets released.  HUGE amounts of pressure stresses  the structure when the water is released and all that weight that is released instantly and is no more.
