I was visiting the other smaller airport on St. Maarten when I first heard about this story. There is a small aviation shop in the terminal over there. The owner's name is Chris. He was telling me about the former operators of DC-10's in the area and that either the Air Martinque jet or a Minerve lease to Martinique got ran-into on the ground by an Air France 747 "by accident." The Martinque guys were posing a threat to Air France's profit in the area, so that "accident" is rumored to be deliberate. Right around when this DC-10 bought it, the airline went under.

If there happens to be a new L1011 model(s), I would WANT to paint them all. Coming from someone who TRIED to paint them all (L1011s that is...) good luck good sir! When I finally counted all the Vistaliners L1011s I'd done (not all were released) I had 42, I think about 35 were released, and there were hundreds more to do. But seriously if AIM is even contemplating an AI L1011 I am sooo there to help out!

Well, considering my DC10-30 config entries are above [fltsim.400], I'm not too worried about it. Dear lord!

My Simlandmarks/Vala Tu-154M passed 100 entries and it did ok.. However, around 120, going to Moscow and back started giving me problems. Soon, TCAI will have that solved for all of us. ;D
