PSA was not too happy with its Tristars. After just two years of service they were stored at Marana pending sale. In December 1978 N10112 was transferred to AeroPeru.

This Tristar was last seen in the red and white colours in March 1987. In May 1988 she was sold to TAP as CS-TEF. In all she has flown in the black colours for just a year.

Pre-delivery test flight. The aircraft was still with Fokker registration. It was delivered on the 20st of April and became 5A-DLQ in Libyan service.

First delivered to Türk Hava Yollari as TC-KOZ in 1961. Sold to Kilo-Moto Mining in 1974/1975 as 9Q-CKH and named "Mont Tsi", after one of the gold mines in the Kilo-Moto region. Flown from Kinshasa, Zaïre to Ypenburg, Netherlands in Dec 1975 for major overhaul at Fokker. Was ready for redelivery to Zaïre in Jan 1977, but instead it was flown to Wevelgem, Belgium in 1977 or early 1978, for storage. Sold as N855TA in Jan 1981, but still at Wevelgem as 9Q-CKH in Kilo-Moto colours by Mar 1981. Registration N855TA applied and Kilo-Moto titles removed by Nov 1981, and flown to the USA by May 1982. The next month it was exported to Mexico as XA-MOW, where it was eventually broken up in 2011/2012.
