From Aviation Week
Decisions on the sale of FAIRCHILD DORNIER, which were expected at the Nov. 5
meeting of the creditors' committee, have been delayed, Aviation Daily reports.
The next three to six weeks appear critical. In that period Administrator
Eberhard Braun said he plans to complete negotiations with Dimeling, Schreiber &
Park for the sale of the 328JET program and the product support division. He is
also negotiating with a Swiss aerospace company-believed to be RUAG aerospace-
for the AIRBUS components division. BASIC ELEMENT and IRKUTSK AIRCRAFT
PRODUCTION ORGANIZATION (IAPO) may no longer be the only consortia to make
formal offers. AVIATION FINANCE CONSULTING of Switzerland and former Fairchild
Dornier executive Earl Robinson have provided documents on financing. Braun
wants transactions to be completed by Jan. 1

NEW LINES: AIC is now the world wide distributor for Avionix, a manufacturer of high quality back up altimeters and air speed indicators for the Corporate and regional markets. We are seeing a lot of interest in the product line from companies involved in upgrading older aircraft to meet the RVSM Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum requirements.

The fact that our team is in the quarterfinals and most Americans are completely oblivious is especially grating to those we have defeated. Yesterday, police had to break up Mexicans who were gathered at the border crossing from El Paso to Juarez, because they were throwing rocks at cars with American license plates – and the Americans had no idea why it was happening!
This is a serious problem. We play an elimination match against Germany on Friday morning. The game starts at 7am EDT, and will be broadcast live on ESPN2. It lasts about two hours. You can afford to be a little bit late for work on Friday. Heck if you’re on the West Coast like me, you can just wake up early and still make it to work on time. But the important thing is that we should celebrate big time in the unlikely event that we win, or we’ll be in big trouble with the Germans – not to mention the Mexicans, who are already on the verge of declaring war. If we lose (which we probably will), we need to be visibly upset at everything German, and crying in the streets. We should all resolve to wear black for a week, and boycott German beer. It's our patriotic duty.
This is the natural order of things – we upset it at our own peril.
