Hello!
I was talking to some friends and the topic of the Argentina Presidential Boeing 757 - the Fuerza Aerea Argentina T-01 - came up. Nobody was certain about what the status of the bird is at this time. I searched some news sites but all I was able to ascertain is that it had a rejected take-off a couple of months ago and that, according to some papers, was due for major maintenaince - a C check perhaps?
I was hoping that some one would have reliable and accurate info as to the status of the T-01 - is it in service? off service due to MX? sold? given away? repo-ed?

The Argentines don't use it to go outside the country for fear of it being impounded as their training ship has been in Ghana.
According to what I can find in Argentine press, the government have hired a private jet for 3 months to take the crazy president on her shopping trips. That was in the news on the 25th October.
