Have fond memories of the Cathay tristars especially on the Manila route from Kai Tak. Are any of them still flying or have they all gone to some great aircraft boneyard ??

By the time you do the mods on spar & engines you'd have been better to look at those in US storage.

Quite a few -500 series available & they are in much better shape & status and they are cheaper now than they have ever been!

Got to look at the a/c from an economic standpoint.

Forget the emotional thing about what a great a/c it is to fly!

You might be surprised to learn, Old Cessna, that many of the parked aircraft in storage in the USA have not had the engine AD terminated either...which reduces their hull value considerably.

Pays your money...takes 'yer chances

Just the other day I saw a StarAir -500 (9L-LDR, ex BWIA) collecting dust on the ramp at DAM...probably will come back to life for the Hadj....

Ex Saudia Tristars

Saw this advertisement for the ex SV birds, incidetally they used to dot he LHR-RUH route in 84'ish IIRC
