A deal to sell the jets to a private pilot training school in thr US had originally been agreed in 2005, but for the last four years the sale had been held up by bureaucracy in the US State Department. However, on Wednesday the go-ahead was finally given, with a certificate coming through from the US government allowing the sale, though it is thought there may still be some commercial negotiations to overcome. It's anticipated that pilots from the purchasing company will be soon visit New Zealand to conduct test flights in the jets."
