Shame really. Basic aircraft was in good shape although the wing was only repaired for a ferry flight to the Gulf for proper rebuild. Problem was nobody was willing to hire engines for a flight from BIAP. One engine failed during hi speed run. Sand ingested during the landing turned to glass in parts of the engine we could not borescope. Both engines were removed and shipped to Kuwait in an "empty" curtained food truck. They were rebuilt and ass far as I know are still in service.
