Medium range • McDonnell Douglas has delivered the first DC-10- 10s to American, United and National. • Lockheed has overcome extreme financial difficul ties which were aggravated by the Rolls-Royce receivership. The TriStar is in production, backed by a $250 million federal loan guarantee. Court Line has ordered two. • Hawker Siddeley has sold six Trident 2Es to the Civil Aviation Administration of the People's Republic of China. • Boeing has sold 190 "wide-body" interior con version kits, primarily for the 727. • The Tupolev Tu-154 is now in Aeroflot service. • Boeing may collaborate with Japanese industry to build a medium-range airbus type. LARGE CAPACITY A-300B-3 The -3 variant of the European A-300B Airbus has extended range and increased payload compared with that of the basic -1 version. The -7 has both an increased capacity and range when compared with the basic model and is tailored to a BEA requirement. That airline, however, has shown no sign of ordering wide-bodied trijets or the Airbus. The Air France specification calls for a new variant— a slightly heavier version of the -1 known as the -2. This may well become the standard short-range A-300B. Full A-300B details on page 815. Lockheed TriStar Protracted debate was required before a Congressional majority of only one was obtained in favour of providing a US Federal Government guarantee for a $250 mil lion bank loan to keep the TriStar programme viable. Finally, The stretched Super 60 series DC-8s hove attracted many orders from non- scheduled operators. A gogg/e of such aircraft is seen here at Freeport International Airport in the Bahamas
