Better late than never!
The ex BA/Caledonian Tristars ended up on a 24 month C Check programme with a 5000 FH cap - worked well if it was supported by good Hangar A Checks and experienced engineers.

The three L1011F stored at VCV have been sold.

They were owned by the "Belgian"

Be interesting to see what happens with them!

Sadly, those three aircraft were in a sorry state.
Two had engines missing, and all had parts/avionics missing...stolen, as reported by those in the know.

Question: Did they ever get L-1011-1 MSN 1012 back in the air? Several folks at Tradewinds wondering.

If the remaining -f were anything like the one that I flew good luck.....As for the missing bits well they will just replace with anything get another paper C check done and fly till caught.....

Hey Camilo

Is the Globejet L1011 OD-ZEE still parked in Viru Viru, Santa Cruz?

I heard it may have been sold?

Hi OldCessna

I really don`t know but you can see it parked in this video

YouTube - Aerosur B727 Cp-2498 Taking off from VVi to Eze

It was sold last October.
New owner, Kellet al-Saker.

Aircraft left Santa Cruz a few months ago.
Did hear some rumors that the company did not pay Globejet for the 3 airplanes but cannot confirm this.
Understand there was some serious payment issues from the crews with the company after operating the other 2 of them for haj.
Seems the crews were stuck in JED for a while also.
Talked to a few of them there, no one really knew the reason why the aircraft was on hold for weeks.

OD-ZEE was parked in VVI since March 2007.
Did the last flight from Madrid on this one, then the ACMI company we were flying for LAB went down the tubes.
Airplane was in excellent shape back then.

It was really quite simple.
The airplane landed at MED instead of JED, as their permit specified.
Not a diversion, a planned reschedule.
The GACA was not amused.
All further flights suspended, and another carrier brought in to handle their remaining flights.
Aircraft impounded.
Near the end of scheduled Hajj ops, the airplane was released to depart, and the final instructions were...do not return, even if you are on fire.
The new owners (provided the airplanes were actually paid for) are based BEN...no love lost between the two countries.

whose is that Tristar parked at CDG? UAE reg, its been on the cargo ramp for a while...and need a wash!

The airplane belongs to Star Air, Damascus, a -500.
Was flying sub-service for Olympic a few years ago when an engine went unservicable, the French DGCA would not allow a ferry flight on two engines, so a new engine was ordered...then not fully paid for.
So, now it remains...

So whats happening with 193C-1199 & -1225

Any ideas to whom?

I heard Luzair bought a couple of relics

not related to Sabri in Bangladesh, but an upstart carrier based in Bangladesh

-1226, also.
Saudi FOC now issued, well ahead of schedule.

Just to ley you guys know, I saw c/n 1012 in Dhaka, Bangladesh on the 15th August last wearing the registration S2-AET apparently owned by a company called Zoom Airlines but was wearing different tiltes to that of which I cannot remember.
