The last time I saw TL-ADW was 5th March in Fujairah!
TriStar, an oldie but still very profitable, if operated by those who know how.
N4790P
411A,
Where do Tristar crews perform their recurrency?
Could the lack of a certified FFS be the downfall of this magnificent a/c (I recall the A300B2 2 man flight deck version was basically scrapped in UK when Garuda got rid of the 2 man A300 sim).

Also, there is an L10 sim in MIA, but don't know if it is still active.
We are planning to use the actual airplane, if absolutely necessary.
I have done this before at another carrier, with good success some years ago.
Another option is the SVA sim in JED.
It is still there, I'm told, but OTS at the moment.
Don't know if this is viable, however.

In the UK the RAF had one at Brize, ex BA as part of the deal if my memory serves me well. It would seem logical as they must now by the biggest operator of those old faithful. In fact is it not now a little concerning that they operate too many old types L1011 VC10.

BAe32ep-Chief,
You don't have enough numbers in your MSN. L-1011 serial numbers (written s/n not MSN) were 1001 through 1250. Perhaps you mean 1199 and 1225, both of which are ex-Delta, ex-Air Rum, RB-211-22B powered -1's.

Both mentioned aircraft are owned by Orient Air, Damascus, and were last flown well over a year ago, and I am not the least bit surprised at the announced sale, as negotiations have been going on for sometime.

LGW over the last fortnight...
Hi folks
a couple of times over the last fortnight, while on my drive to work past EGKK, I've been pleasantly surprised to see a white-tailed tristar sat at the south terminal - normally on gate 18/20 on pier 2.
Anyone know who's operating it, and if it's likely to be around a while?

The UK press have reported that two RAF L1011s have been withdrawn for repairs after "cracks found in the wings" Don't know how true that is, but they are pretty old BA machines, aren't they?

L-1011 ownership problems msn 193G-1250
Hi
I read King Aersopace in Ardmore are laying off some personnel because of a dispute between two parties over ownership of an L-1011. Being that msn 293A-1249 is currently flying between Vegas and Macau, is this plane MSN 193G-1250?.
Are the Saudis regreting the sale?.
Does anybody have an idea of how much was paid to the Saudis for this ships?.
And on other subject, anyone have an idea if msn msn 193H-1247 is flying?. The owner abandoned it in France for a long time.
Thanks.

Dispute was over scheduled payments for work done. Partial interim payments not made.
King couldn't work it out with the owner & he decided to sue the Saudi's. Not a good move as they can & have the money to sit it out!
The a/c should move shortly to another MOD center (centre)

Doubt it I heard the Macau run is doing really well and they have another L1011 waiting in the wings (excuse the pun)
And on other subject, anyone have an idea if msn msn 193H-1247 is flying?. The owner abandoned it in France for a long time.
Isn't that the ship now in Ardmore?
It blew an engine and sat in France for a long while, Couldn't get a ferry permit out.
