Hi Mutt, How's life?
A few years back Al-Anwa had one sitting at AAC in Dallas, Tx. It hadn't moved for the 3 years I was in and out of there. Don't know if it's still there or what the story is...

The TriStar at AAC still there (as of Thursday). No plans to start work on the interior.
The ex RJ TriStar is operational, based in Saudi. Both owned by Al-Ibrahim family as well as a 727.

G3,
Sent you an e-mail this morning after I saw your post. Oceanic seems to confirm what I was trying to say, in a round about way.
I have the phone #'s and fax if you want them...e-mail me and I'll pass them on.

Depends on the individual maintenance program, GlueBall. Hours/cycles and calendar, it all counts. The program they are on now requires a 'C' check every 4,200 hours or 18 months, whichever occurs first.
All are are calendared out now. Not for spares, to be operated.

Thanks for info. I believe that AIA had 6 of only 13 total (Worldwide) converted freighters, with the exception of the Royal Air Force -500 Cabin-Cargo-Door/Tankers. Does not seem to be a popular freighter conversion type, perhaps because of the RR-524s maintenace unpopularity?
