L1011 is very old so why on earth with fuel at its present level would you want to operate a fuel guzzeler. America to Africa needs a African or American airline to provide ACMI and Licence coverage and I cannot imagine anyone being stupid enough to get invoved. But this is aviation and no doubt there is a lid to your saucepan out there somewhere. I wish you well and will buy a seat on your first flight. Just let me know the time and date and I will be there. I will be seventy soon so I do not have a lot of time, hurry up!!
