Popular Post webfact Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Thai Pride Party, shared a heartwarming moment on his personal Facebook page at 6:00 PM on July 28. The post featured Anutin with a beaming smile, dressed in a yellow polo shirt, standing in front of a private plane. The caption read, "Overjoyed to have flown to pick up a heart with Dr. Pat Ongcharit in Roi Et today. #BlessedDay #MissionHeartOnWings." Reportedly, Anutin was contacted by a medical team led by Dr. Pat Ongcharit, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon from Chulalongkorn Hospital, reported Daily News. They urgently needed assistance in flying to Roi Et to retrieve organs from a brain-dead donor, which could save the lives of patients waiting for transplants. Anutin has been piloting private planes to support medical teams in transporting organs across the country since 2014, in what he calls the "Operation Heart On Wings." This vital mission has facilitated numerous life-saving organ transplants when commercial flights or other means of transport were not feasible. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-07-29 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 It looks like s single engine turbo prop which might require a type rating and probably the equivalent of a commercial pilot certificate. This could be like saying John Travolta piloted a B727 in his time. The truth might be an experienced commercial pilot was the PIC (Pilot in Command) with a co-pilot? Co-pilot could mean someone who has very limited experience. Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper. 6 1 5 1 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is possible to get correct training and certifications for all types of add-ons I was the first on scene of an aircraft crash. A C421 went off the takeoff end of the runway and both the pilot and passenger died. The aircraft never got airborne and i noticed the control lock on the yoke had never been removed. The private pilot had recently purchased the airplane. It was one of the quickest NTSB investigation on record. I doubt a Commercially rated pilot would have missed this item on the preflight checklist. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted July 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2023 Truly large men do something because it is the right thing to do, and they do it in silence and in private. Very small men do something good, and the whole world needs to know about it. They post it on social media, and make sure to juice the opportunity, for every bit of credit. 7 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are now flying in the clear blue skies of heaven. That’s a bit OTT mate. I have been a commercially rated helicopter pilot since the 90’s and know a few people lucky enough to have plenty of money so they can have the fancy sofisticated non turbine powered aircraft and turbine powered and I am very happy to fly with them. I accept there’s more training to fly them competently but to say I wouldn’t trust a private pilot would be on a case by case basis. I’ve know and know of several commercial pilots with high flight hours that have lost aircraft through senseless errors, some are lucky to be with us still and some are not. You must have had a bad experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four years or less - this’d all the time the old boys have left. Next election, it’s all over for them. Thanathorn or Pita will be PM. Thaksin will be lucky to win 30 seats.
