Taken one year ago but also recently added to the same site, we can see CS-TMP stored at Aqaba (Jordan):

Unfortunately, a dying breed.

Luzair is currently flying a sole B767-300ER registered CS-TQI.

A little update from their site:
What is the latest on the L-1011?Monday, November 2, 2009 at 7:50AM

Still moving forward. Due to the past experiences of giving out dates, etc. and then hitting another delay, we will not be announcing anything regarding arrival, etc. almost until she taxis onto the runway in Roswell. (Not quite.) Larry Brown has spent a LOT of time on the phone, will a host of highly qualified individuals volunteering their time to work on "paperwork" and to repeat, the project is moving forward! Just stay tuned here and we will post the latest when it is appropriate to do so.

CS-TEB returned from C-check

CS-TEB, msn 293B-1240, owned by euroAtlantic airways, returned from Amman last 21st October, where it performed a C-check, with MMZ301P callsign.

The aircraft also received the billboard titles of the revised livery of euroAtlantic airways, but only on the left side.

The 23rd October, CS-TEB departed to Ilorin in Nigeria, with 'Med View' MEV3333 callsign, but it seems to be operating Kabo Air's Hajj flights to Jeddah from there.

Airliner World - Lockheed TriStar Classic Trijet


A very interesting article about the Lockheed TriStar (its history, present and uncertain future) was published in the current issue of Airliner World magazine. It seems the next issue will also have an article about military TriStars.
