Luzair and Euro Atlantic Tristar question.

First of all happy new year every one on the forum.

OK today due to a a Flyjet 757 going tech after leaving NCL we had a Luzair Tristar pay us a visit to cover its flight.

So i was wondering has any one ever flown on a Luzair or Euro Atlantic tristar?

If so i was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about the flight.

Are these tristars showing there age?
What was the flight like?
How does the 30 year old airlines compare to modern day jets.

Heres 2 images of tristars with both airlines.

Superb in every engineering sense, due in part to many Brits in design team 🙂 . Vendors who had come second on 747/DC-10. Brick s-house, thus uneconomic. Junked ‘cos Lockheed abandoned Product Devt. in 1982, leaving MDC to take MD11, and gave less help to Marshall’s and Tradewinds’ freight conversions than MDC did to OAV DC-10F/FedEx MD10 (no FE). Spares now sourced from part-outs, so slow, scarce. Pax love it…if operators attend to its foibles.
