L1011 Maintenance Interval
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.

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.....

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.

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!
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...
