Quote: I read King Aersopace in Ardmore are laying off some personnel because of a dispute between two parties over ownership of an L-1011.

Dispute was over scheduled payments for work done. Partial interim payments not made.
King couldn't work it out with the owner & he decided to sue the Saudi's. Not a good move as they can & have the money to sit it out!

The a/c should move shortly to another MOD center (centre)


Are the Saudis regreting the sale?.

Doubt it I heard the Macau run is doing really well and they have another L1011 waiting in the wings (excuse the pun)

And on other subject, anyone have an idea if msn msn 193H-1247 is flying?. The owner abandoned it in France for a long time.

Isn't that the ship now in Ardmore?
It blew an engine and sat in France for a long while, Couldn't get a ferry permit out.
