It was a little slow lining up and then used a lot of runway before becoming airborne resulting in an inbound Southwest B737 having to go around. I took a photo of that too. This Tristar was acquired in Jul 84 ex Delta Air Lines N701DA. Total Air was founded in 1984 and renamed Air America in Nov 86. It ceased operations circa 1990. But by Jul 87 this Tristar had gone to American Trans Air as N195AT. It was retired in 2003.

Had also operated as N701TT with Total Air and N701DA with Delta Airlines from origin. Retired in Jul 2003.

To Total Air Jul 84 and re-reg N701TT Sep 85. To American Trans Air and reg N195AT in Jul 87. Stored Roswell NM in Jul 2003.

A veteran of several famous US airlines this Ten-Eleven spent half of its active career with American Trans Air. Towards the end of the eighties and in 1990 it was leased on several occasions to Egypt Air, but also for some brief periods to Air Algérie. In this case, all that was changed on the outside were the titles.
