Status of ex-Globe Jet Airlines' L-1011s

Some time ago, OO-ZEE page in our site's 'fleet section' was updated stating that it was ferried in 2008 from Santa Cruz (Bolivia) to Sabha in Lybia. This aircraft was impounded at Viru Viru airport (VVI) following the demise of Lloyod Aero Boliviano.

Now, thanks to Holger Ludwig (webmaster of L1011.de) it was confirmed that two other ex-Globe Jet and Kallat Elsaker L-1011s are also stored in Sabha: XT-BRK and XT-RAD. The future of these three aircraft that were also part of TAP's fleet in the past doesn't seem too bright. They can be seen stored in Sabha using Google Earth.

Doubt remains over the status of HR-AVN (another ex-Globe Jet), operated by Privilege Jet Airlines on behalf of Rollins Air. Most probably, the aircraft is stored inactive at La Ceiba in Honduras.

TriStar500.net's Fleet page and the individual fact files of some of these aircraft were already updated.
