Randall Brink (or not) And now we come to the Randall Brink mystery - possibly the most flagrant fraud examined so far ...
Summary:
1) The J.C. Reiter Law Firm, located in the Empire State Building, is retaining Randall Brink, an "aviation expert" (author of a book on alleged OSS spy Amelia Earhart) who blames pilots and crew for the crash of Flight 3407 on February 12 at Clarence Center. (Background: I phoned attorney J.C. Reiter, who told me that Mr. Brink contacted him with "information" about the crash. It became obvious to me during the phone conversation that Jonathan Reiter knows next to nothing about Brink. When I offered that Mr. Brink is claiming to own companies that do not exist, Reiter seemed genuinely dumbfounded and promised to look into it. The attorney pointed out something I'd already noticed - that Brink only relates information about the crash already available from public media sources.)
2) A Randall Brink interview posted at FlightGlobal.com notes that Brink is the chairman and president of Pan Pacific Airline in Burlington, Washington. A Google search for "Pan Pacific Airline in Burlington, Washington" results in two articles from FlightGlobal.com ... and nowhere else. (The actual Pan Pacific went out of business in 1938. There IS a Pan Pacific Aviation located in Georgia, but it trains pilots and is not an airline.) This company only exists, as far as I can determine, in the pages of FlightGlobal.com and the Prague Post, neither of which offers confirmation.
3) A letter to the Prague Post from Charles Peake, Structured Finance Division, Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft: "Pan Pacific Airways does not even own any planes - PPA is an idea."
4) Pan Pacific is "fictional" - Wikia Entertainment entry: "Pan Pacific is a fictional airline seen briefly in [the movie] Two for the Road.

5) Randal Brink Resumé Posted on the Internet. Mr. Brink claims, among his bona fides, that he owns UST Corporation (or USTurboprop), an "airline", is creative head for Davenport Entertainment Corporation in Century City, is chairman of EuroAmerican Aerospace. Problems:
• A Google Search for "USTurbojet" produces no results apart from the Randall Brink resumé. There are a couple of UST Corporations - one is a bank, the other a tobacco company. Neither is "owned" by Brink.
* I called 411 for the phone number of Davenport Entertainment Corporation in Century City. No such company is listed, I'm told. I could find no such company on the Internet.
• EuroAmerican Aerospace - This company only exists in Brink's resumé (see Google search).

3) Pan Pacific is an "Idea," not a Going Concern
Letter to the Prague Post
LET point
[Re: "Ray of hope," Oct. 4- 11]: ... If you had done even the slightest bit of investigation you would have realized that Pan Pacific Airways does not even own any planes -- PPA is an idea. It appears that you were wooed by [PPA President Randall] Brink's skills at dealing with the media, as he himself is a contributing editor to an airline magazine.
