Sadly, MrXrules, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Certainly no surprise there.

MrX,
I think you hit a nerve there

RAK Airways are getting the L1011F ready for Ops and are looking for Crew and Engineers

They are planning on adding a 2nd freighter once the first is up & running.

Does any one know how can we get info for this outfit? an address maybe?

How do crew stay current these days on the L1011? Is anybody still operating sim and courses?

Only sim that I am aware of is in Atlanta, but hard to get into.
Guess they are doing the sim checks on the aircraft, no other way.

Wish all the guys that are going to work for this outfit all the best. I will not be applying my Tri Star days are over.

Good luck to you all

Are there any L-1011 Jobs out there?? For Captain with 20 years on the A/C

Yes there are, but be careful, get your money in first. See previous postings by "Earl" et al on this thread. Caveat aviator might be the phrase I'm looking for.
Be lucky

Faboulous thread! Keep it going!

Still operating...last noticed in JED a week ago.

N194AT

Before they ferried that aircraft from MIA they changed a few filters and put new windshield wipers on. (Very generous of them).

Earl can tell you what a heap of junk that ship is. It was originally in MIA to be broken up for spares to repair the "Wilma" hurricane damaged L1011 freighter that is still sitting there.

On another note an outfit is operating two L1011F for RAK and are looking for work for the aircraft.

One of these was one of the aircraft that was to go to Cyprus.

Just seen HS-SEC in Fujaraha a few days ago, was told it was impounded here in the UAE for being overweight on the cargo, violating regulations etc.
Aircraft has been here for months according to the ground staff.
So much for Sky eyes Thailand and Sonnys/ Sabirs latest adventure.
Some how they never learn to pay the crews and operate the correct way!
Guess they finally got busted this time!
This was the old Tradewinds Tristar, sad to see it sitting in the 44 degree heat rotting away.
Took a picture of it but not sure how to post it here.
From what I remember this aircraft had the 524 engines,
Seen many Tristars up in Ras al Kama also, just wonder did they meet the same fate?

Earl

If you cannot post it here, could you please send me that picture to my email? I would like to see it!

flytristar (a) gmail (dot) com

Best regards

Sent the pix to you CS-tmx, these were taken 21 May 2009.
If you know how to post them here would appreciate it.
This company has cheated one too many crews.
I understand the real owners of this leased aircraft maybe interested also.

Here they are!





The last time I saw this bird it was 13th March of 2008 at Suvarnabhumi Airport while I was landing there with my CS-TMP

Thank you so much for these pics Earl

Earl, to post a picture you have to upload it to a hosting site (for example photobucket.com).

Once you have done that, copy the link then open a new thread or (in this instance) reply on a thread, select "insert image" (4th icon from the right), paste your link in the box provide.... and it should work

HS-SEC is s/n 1212 an ex British Airways (British Airtours) -200 (RB-211-524 engines). It was never operated by Tradewinds.

The Tradewinds frighter is s/n 1012 an ex Eastern -1 (RB211-22B engines).

Yup.
Its registration is now S2-AET and is presently parked at RAK...last noticed in April, with maintenance in progress.
