Nice footage of this L-1011 TriStar, msn 193B-1221, abandoned at Nairobi Airport:
C-FTNA, parked at Lyon Airport, to be dismantled
According to the Facebook group Airplane mode, msn 193M-1019, last tail number C-FTNA with Air Transat, will be scrapped and removed from its current parking position. The aircraft, which was parked in LYS since it was caught in-flight in the middle of a hail storm, was rendered a write-off beyond economical repair and was being used as a conference space and for fire fighters training.
Being permanently exposed to the elements and without proper maintenance and cleaning, the aircraft became derelict.
After scrapping and removal, the site will be used as a hydrogen station.
Airline History Museum fighting for survival (II)
Just a quick update to inform that the decision towards the rights of the hangar space of Airline History Museum was again postponed. This time, a final deliberation is expected this year by November 21.
Airline History Museum fighting for survival
Airline History Museum (legally Save A Connie, Inc) which runs an aviation museum in Kansas City Airport (MCI) has lost access to its hangar - for more than three years now - while fighting a legal battle against Kansas City Aviation Department and Signature Flight Support who are trying to evict the museum from their facilities at the airport, which would mean the end of it.
