Tristar in the hands of Russian owner.
Anyone know anything about that Russian outfit in RSA that has bought a L10-11 ex GSO. I imagine Tristar freaks will be rolling their eyes at the very thought of Russians playing with sacred equipment. How they will fly it in RSA airspace with the new tighter policeing of foreign operators aircraft, remains a mystery to me. There is a very expensive AD due on the engines, like due last year August. That combined with Russian mechanics working on a western aircraft with out any training, surely wont be acceptable to the CAA?
