Just saw the clip on the news ... i reckon it wont belong before someone or group come up with the money .
Maybe Gareth Morgan could divert some of his funds that way , and leave the moggys alone ....but think about it , they only need 50 grand to get the checks done .... if a hundred people gave $500 , or 200 gave $250... etc
I know there maybe extra involved if they find a problem , but mark my words , that old lady will be flying again soon.
Im happy to get the ball rolling ... we cant let that old darling rot in a hanger.

That maybe all it takes .... but remember Richie McCaw (i think) is in the mix as well with this aircraft.
