Tristar Air and Jet Link Holland were airline subsidiaries of the Dutch company Jet Link, and both shared the same logo. Jet Link Holland went bankrupt in June 2000, but Tristar Air continued. The aircraft seen here only carries the company logo on the fin, and no titles, but in the late 2000s it adopted the full colour scheme previously worn by the Jet Link Holland aircraft. This particular aircraft SU-BMZ was destroyed in a forced landing near Mogadishu, Somalia on 12 Oct 2015. At that time the A300 was 34 years old and still operated by Tristar Air as their only aircraft. The accident meant the end of Tristar Air.

Lining up for an early morning departure off rw25L - very exotic for me!

This A300 was one of the last in the old DHL livery and it was retired a few weeks after this photo was taken. It was parked at Sanford, by then carrying registration N831JM.

Seen before delivery to TACA after freighter conversion.

'Prime' is the passenger charter division of HC Cargo Airlines. This aircraft was bringing in fans for the Champions League Final that evening.

Nice tail design - a ladybird on a juicy leaf.

Nice to catch a Freighter as it goes from one side of the Airfield to the other. (Canon 10D 50mm)

On very short final for Rwy 07R

Inbound from OST to pick up the cabin interior of another EgyptAir A300 which was in conversion to a freighter at DRS.

Last shot from a great day-trip across to the Emerald Isle. As we taxied out on our return flight to PIK thirty minutes later, this aircraft was a hive of activity.
