Delivered to LTU as D-AERT in 1980. To Rich International Airways as N501GB in 1996 then to Nordic European Airlines as SE-DVM in 1997. Returned to the lessor as N501GB in 1998 then to Novair Airlines as SE-DVX in 1999 and American Transair as N165AT in 2000. Reg not applied and withdrawn from use at Victorville, CA. Scrapped in 2004.

Delivered new 14th Apr 1980 and went to Rich International as N501GB 21st March 1996

This L.15 was originally delivered to LTU as D-AERT in April 1980. It was withdrawn in March 1996 but bought by a leasing company that placed the frame in May 1996 with Rich International. From September until December 1996 it had a short period of storage at Roswell (ROW) and later also had a short lease with Nordic European as SE-DVM. It was stored once again at ROW in March 1998 but again escaped the boneyard, this time for Novair as SE-DVX. It was withdrawn in November 1999 and stored at Bangkok (BKK), then bought by ATA in April 2000 and parted out at Victorville (VCV).

I flew a few times on this one, either to or from the USA. It was later N501GB with Rich International, SE-DVM with Nordic European Airlines and SE-DVX with Novair. It was sold to American Trans Air Jun 2000 and allocated the registration N165AT. Apparently it never wore that reg and was probably only used as a source of spares.

Delivered to LTU in 1980 as D-AERT. Flew until 2000 then was taken out of service, bought up by American Trans Air and registered N165AT. ATA used the ship for spares for their fleet, and by 2004 the airplane still with SE-DVX painted on was brokenup at Victorville. The cutting was actually right in progress as we visited the airfield.

Operated by Novair.

Departing Lohausen. The aircraft served LTU from 04.80 to 08.96.

Lockheed L1011s were the first wide bodies for LTU. This 500 was delivered March 14, 1980. In March 1996 it was sold to a leasing company, who added extra emergency exits to allow higher density seating. It has been leased to Rich International (N501GB), Nordic European (SE-DVM) and Novaor (SE-DVX) before American Trans Air (N165AT) bought the aircraft for parts. Registered only for the ferry flight to Victorville, CA, it was picked for parts until finally broken up June 2004.
