AA Flight 11 For Sale!

[AMTMAN]

Recently I was cruising some of the turther forums when I came across this.

Naturally my curiosity peaked when I read this. Right away I knew someone was playing a very sick joke, exactly who I'm not sure. One does not get the serial number wrong for an aircraft they are supposedly selling. Not with the kind of money that is involved.

It was sort of funny reading the reactions of the truthers. They were practically falling all over each other thinking they finally found the smoking gun. Guess it did not enter their minds that someone might be playing a game. Or that in order for it to be true AA either has to be in on the conspiracy or they are totally clueless. One of my favorite posts is this.

No one should mention Flight 11 or anything to do with 9/11 if they call this guy... at some point this will be properly investigated and it is essential that the seller not have any suspicion aroused.. is that not common sense? Otherwise we risk blowing the best lead to ever emerge in 6 years.. don't blow it guys! I am having indirect discreet inquiries placed about this, and would really urge folks to sit tight and let this play out, and not blow it by a foolish phone call... 'nuf said.

The guy said this on an open forum! Way to keep a secret there smart guy!

Then it took a rather bizarre turn. Someone supposedly contacted the person who is "selling" this aircraft. They corrected themselves and said it was N330AA, the 767 that suffered a turbine failure on the number one engine at LAX last year. Then they stated that the left wing and both engines were replaced. That's when the old BS alarms started screaming. Replacing the l/h wing would require special tooling. They also fail to mention that the aft l/h part of the fuselage has significant heat damage. The final nail in the coffin is that the keel beam of the aircraft was damaged. When this happens the aircraft is considered a write off. Which it is because it's still sitting at LAX minus the engines.

Likely that will become a fire training hulk. We have several blackened hulks at the north side of O'Hare here, nigh unto the Jane Adams tollway. Several times a year some motorist sees the firemen working on one of the blazing hulks and freaks out and calls 911 and the newspapers!

Once all the insurance issues have been sorted out all usable parts will be removed and the rest sold for scrap. Those hulks you see at airports are steel tubes made to look like an airliner. The problem with using an old airframe for firefighting training is that you would only be able to use it once.

I think the whole thing is a huge scam. If someone was trying to sell N330AA and said it was repaired that is a total fabrication. The aircraft is beyond economic repair. And I have a hard time believing it was a typo. Also, anyone who's looking to buy an aircraft is going to know the history on that aircraft. There's a paper work trail a mile long on any commercial airliner.

Who decides if the airplane gets written off? AA inspection, Boeing, the owner/lessor, the insurance company..? We basically had the exact same thing happen to an MD-11 here and after about a year in limbo(the plane just sat at the Delta North ramp at ATL), they found a buyer and the plane was eventually repaired and sold to UPS.

I dunno about that. The airplane still had some value(we sold all of our -200s; so there is a market) and if somebody wanted to pay for a wing and 2 refurbed CF-6s - I'm sure a deal could have happened. See above.

Speaking of that, let's change the subject to something much more interesting. How does one determine the ownership history of a given aircraft? I'd like to know how I can find out the histories of the four airplanes crashed on 9/11, including who owned them and what airlines flew them. Is that possible?

What makes it so interesting is that I have learned that El Al, Israel's national airline, sold several 767s and 757s in the months before the 9/11 attacks. Wouldn't it be quite a coincidence if these planes, sold by a nation that benefitted immensely from the attacks, ended up being used by the terrorists on 9/11?

El Al is planning to save money by selling its Boeing 757 and 767 fleets and boosting its 737s and 777s to reduce the number of aircraft types it operates.

The Israeli national airline operates six all-Boeing fleets - 737s, 747-200s, 747-400s, 757s, 767s and 777s - but intends to sell its eight 757s and six 767s in order to purchase more 737-800/900s and 777s. El Al operates two 737-700s, three 737-800s and one 777, with two more on order. A fifth 747-400 is also an option, while the 747-200s will be sold.

Who ever the lien holder is I would imagine. The word we got was that that keel beam was damaged. Add to that a wing that is unrepairable, heat damage to the fuselage and the need for two engines that adds up to a hefty repair bill. Especially when you consider that there are 767's in the desert that don't need any kind of repair work. And as I have already said it's more than just a new wing and two engines.

Maybe I'm missing something, I just don't know what.

You're kidding me right. If I didn't know any better I would say you were trying to get a reaction out of people. After all, who could be so twisted as to try and blame the Jews by implying it was ex-El Al aircraft that were used.

Here's a news flash for you A-Train, two of the aircraft belonged to United and two belonged to American. And by the way, how do you know they actually sold them prior to 9-11? El Al still operates 757 and 767 aircraft. Is this a case of you just assuming they were actually sold?

Yeah, that's understandable. But like I said, we had an airplane with similar circumstances that did sell(replaced wing, pylon, engine, reskinned fuselage section, replaced stringers, floor beams, etc..) - and if someone was looking to buy a 767 on the cheap, they might've been interested if the airplane was deemed repairable.

Also, if you do a quick googling on Atlas Aviation and Ronni Chowdry, you'll see that they have a few other aircraft (http://www.aviatorsale.com/seller/sellerAircrafts.asp?CompanyID=5101), including a couple of other 767s for sale, so they appear to be legit. Its also not clear what the status of the airplane is. Some aircraft registry database sites say it's "Stored" and some say "Written Off". My guess is the latter, which is why is the aircraft is no longer for sale.

With an MD-11 I could understand going the extra mile to repair it since there are so few out there. By the way, what happened with that MD-11?

With the 767 there have been almost a thousand aircraft delivered so far in it's production life. So it's not like there's a shortage. Especially now that a lot of airlines have either replaced their 767's with A330's or are gearing up for the 787 and A350. As for the repair work there's the issue of the damaged keel beam. Usually when that's mentioned people get real hinky about it.

#3 had a tail pipe fire during an engine run after a C-check. Rumor has it that the fire warning and fire bottle breakers were still out. They didn't get fuel cut off until the wing was on fire.

The guys doing the run had a bad day, to say the least.

Doubt AA would have bought a 767 from El Al in the first place. Reason being El Al uses Pratt motors on their 767's and AA uses GE. Same goes for United and the 757, UA uses Pratt motors and El Al uses RR.

You were not asking a simple question A-Train. Quite the opposite, you were hoping to find some connection between the aircraft used that day and the Jews. That way you could feed your hate. In spite of the fact that apathoid provided you with information showing the status of the El Al 757 and 767's you still are trying to find something. Why is that A-Train?

As you can see in the link provided by Firestone the aircraft were delivered directly to AA and UAL and were in their custody their entire service life. Airlines like AA and UAL typically do not buy aircraft second hand. Reason being they don't have to. They have deep enough pockets to buy direct from the manufacturer. Or at least they used to have deep pockets.

Anyway here's what an aircraft that has had multiple owners would look like on airfleets.

< http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-md80-53489.htm >

It was originally delivered to Reno Air in 1996. When AA bought Reno the aircraft was then integrated into AA's fleet. When the lease was up it was put into storage and eventually acquired by Lion Air.

Hmm...well I've theorized that it all comes from the "exclusive club" syndrome. That is, if there is an exclusive club that certain people belong to (especially successful people...like many jews) there are always people who think they are secretly out to get them. It's the reason why paranoid dictatorships outlaw things like freemasonry and the like. They are afraid that something secret is going on that will affect them negatively in some way. The Jews are a historical example. Somewhat of an exclusive club (can you truly be considered a jew unless you were born jewish?) seems to breed irrational hatred.

It's like what I've said before about Shriners. My grandpa is a Shriner, and all they do is get together, have silly meetings, and raise a lot of charity for their hospitals. But the meetings are secret! Therefore you can come up with a whole variety of bizarre speculations about what they do.

British Airways sold off a bunch of 757's and 767's prior to 9-11. You might want to look into that.

I heard Boeing sold a bunch of those, too. Might need to look into that. Sounds pretty ominous to me...

British Airways sold off a bunch of 757's and 767's prior to 9-11. You might want to look into that.


I heard that they sold some to [drumroll]......Boeing. And where did AA and UA get their 757's???? That's right....Boeing. Coincedence? Better check it out A-Train. The Jooos might be behind this...

Three of the 767's were sold to US Air. So that means three 767's from Britain were were being flown by a US airline over the USA. Me thinks MI6 is behind something very sinister.:jaw-dropp

El Al never sold any of their 767s, and didn't sell any 757's to either UA or AA.

Wow! I never would've guessed that there's an airliner equivalent to Carfax.com. :D Figured that someone who's curious would have to build the chain of ownership manually from Boeing to each airline who's owned a given jet.

Anyway, cool link. Thanks for posting it!

Silverstein ... was ... a Research Scientist at the Boeing Company. Dr. Silverstein was awarded the Alexander C. Williams Award of the Human Factors Society in 1983 for his work on the advanced cockpit color CRT display systems for the Boeing 757/767 aircraft and the Honeywell Corporate Technical Achievement Award in 1989 for the development of visual simulation methods for color liquid crystal displays.:boxedin:
