With the constant and repetitive compressor stalls they subject their 727's to in LUB, they are gonna lose engines on one of those too. And soon.

Well anything is possible in the DRC!
He, TR made a fortune out of this ex impounded Lesotho aircraft. Paid more for positioning and “airworthiness arrangement” from Kinshasa CAA than for the a/c.
To extend the live of engines only $$$:ooh:
To dish up “new” logbooks or not to ask for them…… $$$:ooh:
Import C of A and inspection only $$$:ooh:
No questions asked only $$$:ooh:
That Antonov 12 of TR was a fantastic aircraft. Crashed only after 5 years or more of no maintenance.
Well build Anton Antonov. :ok:
