hélas, les bonnes choses ont parfois une fin...

un peu d'humour pour ce début d'année, j'aimerais vous parler d'une compagnie aérienne hors normes :
qui a dit que les anglais étaient prudes et coincés du bulbe ? pas la CAA en tout cas qui vient d'interdire les vols, d'un genre bien particulier, d'un opérateur de Cessna Caravan qui permettait, pour un millier de dollars (7-800 euro) au couples et autres menages à trois de s'envoyer en l'air....
parait que ''les bruits'' perturbaient le bon fonctionnement du vol, a dit l'autorité de régulation !
leur site : http://www.milehighflights.co.uk/ ils ne prennent plus de réservation pour le moment !
article parlant du sujet : British Mile High Flights Grounded By CAA
Founder Mike Crisp says his air charter's bed-laden Cessna Grand Caravan has been grounded "because of some prudish snobbery on the part of the CAA." The CAA disagrees. Crisp's business, Mile High Flights, operated for two years out of Gloucestershire, England, giving couples (and one threesome) the opportunity to join the mile high club. Now, the CAA says the company has failed to meet safety criteria and the regulatory agency will not renew the company's operating license. The Mile High Flights Caravan has been fitted with a few seats and a bed separated from the flight deck by curtains.
According to a CAA spokesman, "We cast no moral judgments on what people do in their planes, that's not our business." Safety is, and the agency claims that's where they have discovered problems. Exactly what those problems are has not been widely reported but one source said the CAA has suggested in-flight activities on these special flights could prove distracting for pilots. Crisp says he's not giving up.
According to Crisp, his work has proven to be "a very popular business idea." He says he invested more than $15,000 in equipping the aircraft with fire-retardant sheets, upholstery and bedding. The flights had offered Brits their chance at amorous airborne encounters starting at about $1,000.
Crisp says the business attracted patrons of all (legal) ages, and from all walks of life. The CAA says Mile High Flights failed to offer safety chiefs the necessary assurances and otherwise the agency has "no issue" with the company's business.
