There is nothing wrong with RR engines. Poor maintenence will ruin any engine. Express Net found out that poor maint. will ruin a GE, Kalitta found out that poor maint will ruin Pratts as well as Rollers. I have operated all three engines as engineer and pilot. They are all good engines if maintained properly. Rollers are my favorite engine, then GE's then Pratts.
They each have a different thresh hold of improper maintenence.

Saw one of the Focus birds on the long term ramp in Liege, Belgium, about a week ago.

I just parked next to a Focus 747 today. It was in the Liege long term parking. I hope it hasn't been there the whole time.

If it's one of the RB211 powered acft, it's probably waiting for someone to pay for a C Check. If it's a CF6 Acft, it's waiting for SAI's Transition check. Either way, very sad.

 

[Hocus Focus]

the plane in Belgium belongs to Southern. As far as paying for a C check.. not a money availability issue but "who's" money and other biz related issues. For all of those that have voiced genuine concern for our pilot group thank you.

I'm guessing it is the same one I flew in there on the 25th of Dec. I know it hadn't moved until at least the 10th

I believe if it was 354FC, it is at Southern Air now.

They have plans on parking the RB11 powered aircraft in the next week or so. I think it's officially over without any possibility of it opening under a different name. EBS (Investment firm that owns Focus Air) is playing 2 potential buyers against each other.

Hey Dutch,

How's it going at World? Did you get the DC-10 or the MD-911?

Sorry for the thread creep!
