Just drove past there on Friday evening -- seems there are less and less parked everytime I pass -- all the Hawaiian Md80s have disappeared.

I think most of the mass withdrawls have been finished for a while now so they are catching up with the 'stock'

Always amazes me how paper thin the skin structure is when stressed in a way it was not designed for :$

Can't be many TriStars left in one piece now apart from the fifteen or so flying and the odd one here and there......has any TriStar go for preservation??

TWA and Delta are a couple of musts.....if there are any left from those carriers in one piece *-)

Yes and recently. Can't remember if it's over there but if I had to bet money.. I'd say it probably was. I have a link here somewhere (via email) so I'll try and find it ;)

Sounds good as the type was dissappearing very fast just recently and with only 250 built they could soon reach a point of near extinction :((
