January 31, 20206 yr Moderator I actually saw this plane parked at KDAL for about a year and a half or so while it was getting customized at Associated Air. In fact, I didn’t recognize the markings on the tail so I posted a photo here and someone was able to tell me what it was. Hard to believe after all the money that was spent by the prior administration that they either couldn’t sell it and are going to auction it off. Would be interesting to know how much they will have lost. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

February 1, 20206 yr They tried to get Canada to buy it by basically shaming our A310’s that the Prime Minister currently uses (among other VIP’s) by saying theirs is better and would be a good upgrade. They’re probably right...
