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
