Tiger Aircraft has confirmed to ANN that eight staffers were
given pink-slips last Friday. Despite what Tiger Boss Gene Criss
described as a "pretty solid" order book, nearly a third of the
current staff was laid off while the company awaits what is
expected to be a major capital infusion later this month.
Be on the lookout at your local airport for a 2002 Cessna T182,
registration N184TA, that was stolen from its hangar last month at
California's El Monte Airport (EMT). The plane's exterior is white,
with red and gray stripes.
