Hi

This was posted in another forum by the user TZTriStar500 , sad to see those L15īs go.

"Well folks, it is finally coming closer to the end. Two of the three L-1011-500s in the fleet are now officially scheduled for retirement. N162AT will depart in late February and N163AT in April. That will leave only N164AT left which is currently undergoing a C check at Victorville Aerospace and will be completed late Feb. 164 should fly through approx. March of 2009 at most and would then end the L-1011 era at TZ and in 121 ops in the US.

As for what will happen to them, 162 and 163 may placed up for sale, but the engines are certainly needed just to keep 164 going for the next year pending the -524 engine disk life reduction AD".
