brett 2,295 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Cheaper to land them and leave them than to fix them I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 "The notice gave the planes' registration numbers as TF-ARM, TF-ARN, and TF-ARH. Zainol said two are passenger aircraft and one is a cargo plane." As near as I can determine, the "TF" prefix indicates Iceland, but if aircraft are like ships, the country of registry says nothing about who actually owns or operates them. Interesting. I'd bet they are pretty old and tired. John Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 As they are 747-200's, probably only worth scrap TF-ARM - http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b747-22363.htm TF-ARN - http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b747-22382.htm TF-ARH - http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b747-22669.htm All reported as Air Atlanta Icelandic Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,295 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 WikipediaAs of February 2015, the Air Atlanta Icelandic fleet consists of the following aircraft:[17]Air Atlanta Icelandic FleetBoeing 747-400 8Boeing 747-400BCF 7Airbus A340-300 1Airbus A330-200 1Total 17The ones in the article are 747-200's and I read another that said the planes were there since this past April. Maybe the company had leased them and the leasees defaulted on payments causing AAF to write them off. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I seem to recall a Convair 880 or B707 that was parked at Southend Airport for years, the owners were African but were never traced. I think it was scrapped eventually. I seem to recall Gatwick having a similar thing with a DC-8. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Some 747 nut Bruce should put in a request for pieces of the cockpits...prolly get a great deal on a few very authentic 747 Cockpit simulators out of those if they get sold for scrap. Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Me too. But, y'know.... the shipping charges? Cheers, bruce a.k.a. brian747 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Me too. But, y'know.... the shipping charges? Cheers, bruce a.k.a. brian747 I've heard of a cheap charter called Brians Charter IIRC. Seems to have a dodgy rep but for a few cases of single malt, hard cash and no questions you might be in luck for some shipping. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 <grin> I know that outfit better than to entrust them with any cases of single malt! Cheers, B. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
