Focus is Tango Uniform. Ceased operations. The RR powered aircraft in Victorville are for sale as far as I know.

Thats a damn shame to see two 74's parked at Victorville with RB211 motors. Nice engine once it's running. Can't find parts for it anywhere though.

Latest is that Air Atlanta is taking the two RR powered aircraft and are going to use them on Malaysian contract (MAS Cargo).

Plenty 74s "running" with -524 Rollers, including DX4 series, . . . plenty of parts available for customers with money.
