Well the last Tristar in Ostend was a really sad story, it basically flew from the desert to Ostend, and then back a few years later (sometimes on 1 engine
). Since then only 1 L-1011 came to Ostend, EX-044. I'm hoping to see it again this Hajj season.
Btw, can anywone tell me when the Hajj season starts and ends? And wht is the closest airport to Mekka/Medina?
And referring to my original post, I know what aircraft are operational as there are good sites for that like aerotransport.org. There are quite a few Tristars in service actually, not counting the UK AF, and the number is growing.
What I really want to know is their flying activities, contracts with whom, the period of the lease, the destinations etc... I was hoping to find some kind of international 1011 spotters group.
