Further news to this, it was reported on August 22cnd that notification, by the Navy, was given to Tristar Air LLC terminating the April 24th Contract to provide air refuelling services.
Looks like the L-1011s will be at Brunty for a good few years yet sadly.

Thanks very much Martin.
This is the second one I've filmed here this year and both times they were operated by American crews (which is interesting).
Thanks again.

It was a great program done by C4. They used some of the footage I filmed of it at Prestwick last September too.

When I first saw this a couple months ago my first thought was whether this was to fill the Cobham contract which expires in 2019, and that they plan on having these Phenoms operational by 2019.
Obviously the Cobham contract and the training one are 2 totally different things.
