You want to operate the 522 engine Tristars with the engine Ad/s overdue, just because you register them in a country that sees other way on these things does not make it correct.
Sadly, MrXrules, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Certainly no surprise there.:rolleyes:

MrX,
I think you hit a nerve there :}

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

Earl 22nd Nov 2008 17:51

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.

Good luck to you all

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

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?

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 :)

Earl 29th May 2009 18:56

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.

CS-TMX 29th May 2009 19:16

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 :ok:

CR2 30th May 2009 11:27

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.
