The latest on Barq is "Capt M" is still trying to move an ex ATA L1011 out of VCV (Victorville)
Unfortunately VAL is non too bright when it comes to the L1011 and have had several engine problems to overcome. (scratch head & ponder?)
Supposed to leave mid August, so 4 weeks late already

Probably a good idea to avoid this one.
His load planing and load sheets to include the Told cards are all ex Air Atlanta Tristar, he even said he just changed the names, SOP's were AAI also, which he never followed.
Safety and Emergency training ID will just be issued at your first flight, you don't have to attend. just take and sign!!!!!
Emergency Training must have been when we shut an engine own due to no oil pressure abeam Bermuda and had to return to Mia enroute to Lisbon with one of the remaining engines borderline on high vibes with N194AT.
Validation, a joke, pencil whipped by the Jordan CAA.
For someone that breaks this many regulations, C checks, A/D's etc, funny how he screws you on the pay.
But what else can you expect from someone that cheats his way around the system?
He is just an accident waiting on a place to happen.

L1011 Pics
Earl, can you assure the authenticity of those images? Have they in fact been taken at the Fujairah Airport and have you personally observed the damage in the Tail Section?

AviationSam,
I took those pictures myself on 21 may 2009 at Fujairah.
The damage may be from leaking skydrol as someone said in an earlier post, did not see it until I looked at the pictures later as we were doing a quick turn and was only on the ground a short while.

Hi Guys;
I have not read all the posts on this thread so forgive me if it has already been posted but c/n 1201 is now registered S9-GAR and for several weeks has been parked in Dhaka, Bangladesh. There are a couple of pictures of it if you care to look on my site at Superspotter's gallery by Clive Hindmarch :: Fotopic.Net under the dhaka gallery

It's apparently registered to Goliaf Air who at one time were linked to the notorious arms dealer Victor Anatoliyevich Bout.
Goliaf Air and a British company were suspected of delivering arms in Sudan
