Does N31TR Still Fly?

[Chris102]

Is the Triangle Aviation 727 (31TR) still in service? The most recent picture on Airliners is from 2007 and I was wondering if it was retired. I haven't heard anyone on here mention it in a long time.

I saw the matching Gulfstream today and was reminded about 31TR's absence.

Chris I have wondered the same thing so after reading your post I stared researching and found your answer. Was re-registered VP-CMO with same scheme and their are three photos on a.net of her flying in this scheme the most recent in April 2010 at DMO in Moscow. Further research found two photos on flickr of her stored in Lasham, England in May 2012 including this one.

The fact that her engines are still on the aircraft and not covered leads me to believe she "might" still be active but you never know.

She looks terrible! :eek:


I Googled the new tail number and she is currently for sale. The listing page says it's parked in the UK:

Perhaps we could make an investment here? :biggrin:
