Kuwait 747-200s

What's going on with the 2 remaining KAC Classics? Last seen over on the verge, at least one without BRTs (Big Round Things) under the wings.

Weren't these two Kombi's supposed to be tied to the CRAF? Now no 'dedicated' lift for the up-coming "festivities"?

Last I heard - in July- was they'd been "sold" to a leasing company....also Kuwaiti owned...to be leased back to KAC.

Hard to see what they were gonna do with only 2 F/Os and no Captains who wanted to fly them.

IJP!!!! Any news here? You still talk to the lads.

They are still working......JUST? They have managed to put together a few crew to keep them working. Mostly leasing operations to places like Egypt.

Have a nice day
