Believe that some of the Thaisky crew are now busy flying the Hajj for Mr Muhgrabi, on a US N registered (ferry-flight) aircraft.

Earl: Most are ex ATA and flew this aircraft before and know the history and the reason ATA parked it.

Any idea where the Thai registered -200 freighter is now ?

Earl:
As of December 12th 2007 it was in BKK, probably is till there.
They tried to do a RVSM certification flight with the Thai DCA on board.
Aircraft would not pressurize, neither autopilots would engage so the flight returned to BKK.
Also the number R5 spoiler would intermittently pop up full every time flaps 4 was selected.
Crew walked off due to payment issues after this, so whats going on now is anyones guess.
Egyptian ground engineers at there finest hour!
But then again, you get what you pay for!
