Went to GYR on Saturday evening 11/6. There were plenty of bizjet
and bizprops around on the tarmac for NASCAR. DAL MD11, N801DE
arrived this week as flt# DAL9900 YMX-GYR on 11/2, and was parked in
the field wearing full colors and titles. WOA MD11 N278WA with
SonAir titles arrived as flt# WOA907 IAH-GYR on 11/5 and was parked
on the TIMCO Ramp Saturday. The Bellview B762 has now been moved
outside the hangar on the TIMCO Ramp and one side of the aircraft
has the reg. N806HE along with the nickname "Charity". This
Bellview was ex-VRG, PP-VNS. Even though there was still plastic
draped over the forward fuselage, we did manage to get a few proof
shots of it. We believe the other ex-VRG B762 PP-VNR which was on
the ramp last weekend is now in the paint bay. ex-ACA B762 N526PH
has now been moved inside the hangar, while Cielos Cargo DC10,
N305FE and WOA DC10, N353WL still appeared to inside as well. ex-
AWE B732, N180AW has now been moved to the TIMCO Ramp along with ex-
UAL B735, N944UA. All of the other UAL B735 aircraft have been
moved to the field. ex-UAL B772 N207UA was still in UAL c/s (n/t),
but re-reg'd PP-VRE this weekend, while N208UA has had its titles
and reg removed. COA B733, N14308 departed this week to IAH as flt#
COA 9970 on 11/3, while WOA DC10, N303WL departed this week as
well. ex-Dutch Caribbean MD80, PJ-SEH has now been moved to the
field. Other than those changes all of the other aircraft
previously noted at GYR still appeared to be present on Saturday.

* Goodyear report and update from Steve Cook, http://www.visitingphx.com:
There were a lot of interesting movements at GYR this weekend. We
made it out to GYR on Saturday evening 10/30. It appears that one of
the ex-Varig B762's is now painted as Bellview Airlines. It was
inside the hangar with plastic drapped over it, no reg was visible
yet. The other Varig B762 that was stripped last weekend is now
outside on the TIMCO Ramp, but most of the logos and its reg were
removed. It appears they may be painting this one soon too. ex-DAL
B732, N378DL was parked on the TIMCO Ramp with no titles after
arriving from ATL-PHX-GYR as flt# DAL9900 on 10/28. World DC10,
N303WL was parked in between the hangars on the TIMCO Ramp after
arriving from LAX-GYR as flt#WOA903 on Saturday. Another arrival to
the TIMCO Ramp Saturday was ex-ACA B762 (C-GAVA) now reg'd N526PH.
The ex-ACA had no titles and flew MHV-GYR using its N526PH reg for
its flight#. Cielos Cargo DC10, N305FE was inside the hangar as well
this weekend. ex-Spanair (EC-FXI) MD83 was parked on the TIMCO
Ramp. The ex-Spanair is now reg'd N320FV and was a/w after arriving
YYR-TUS-(GYR) on Saturday flying as its reg. WOA DC10, N353WL was
moved inside the hangar this weekend and painted a/w now. ex-UAL
B772, N207UA which was still parked at TIMCO, now has it's titles,
logos, and reg removed. UAL B772, N208UA is still in full UAL c/s on
the TIMCO Ramp though. ex-UAL B735, N943UA departed to LCQ on
Saturday morning as flt# UAL9925. Also missing was AAY MD83 N860GA
which returned to service earlier this week. One aircraft that we
missed counting lately was ex-ASA MD80, N932AS which apparently snuck
out to LCQ on 7/16/04 flying as its reg#.
We made another run out to GYR on Sunday afternoon 10/31 to catch
ex-ATA B752, N512TZ which flew in from IND-GYR as its reg#. N512TZ
was in full ATA c/s and arrived to the TIMCO Ramp.
