Hi bspatz! Of course, we eventually operated the three ex Pan Am -500 pax fit airliners. The six ex BA -500 jets became, four KC1 Combi tanker transports and two K1 tanker pax- due to penny pinching. In this case, it was the astronomical costs of the VC10 that robbed the TriStar of the wing pods and a coherent fleet.
