The earliest landing on Runway 05 I have ever see at Glasgow, it must have been about 4 metres above the start of the Piano Keys. Tristars are a rare sight nowadays and this one opearted a good half dozen Thomas Cook flights at Glasgow so a most welcome visitor here.

A classic aircraft landing on Runway 23 at Glasgow, I wonder how many more times we will see these increasingly rare Tristars here.

Positioning in empty to Glasgow to operate for Thomas Cook the following morning, this Tristar visited more than a dozen times during the Summer of 2008.

Operating another flight at Glasgow for Thomas Cook, this Tristar visited quit a few times filling in for tech aircraft during the Summer of 2008.

Photo 1 of 2 (see here). This Tristar suffered a compressor stall in engine #1 during the take-off run for a Dutch Caribbean Airlines Amsterdam-Curaçao flight. The scene here is a few seconds later, showing the subsequent high-energy Rejected Take-Off (RTO) on rwy 24, causing significant damage to the landing gear. The aircraft was stored for repairs, but a second attempt three weeks later saw a repeat of the problem. It then remained stored at Schiphol for three years, until ferried to Lissabon on 20 July 2007, and on to Victorville, CA a month later for continued storage. In Jan 2014 it was acquired by TriStar History and Preservation Inc. and reregd to N91011, then sold to Orbital Sciences Corp. in April 2018.

Photo 2 of 2 (see here). This was the situation on runway 24 at Schiphol, 25 minutes after this former Air Portugal TriStar (ex CS-TEC, SE-DVF) executed a high-energy rejected Take-Off following an compressor stall in the #1 engine (see other photo). This RTO caused major damage to the landing gear, which kept it from vacating the runway. It blocked Schiphol's most-used runway for many hours. It would be three years before the aircraft would finally leave the airport. Following many years of continued storage at Vacaville, CA it was registered to TriStar History and Preservation Inc. as N91011 in Feb 2014, then to Orbital Sciences Corp. in April 2018. Apologies for the heat haze in this distant shot.
