Apparently, fighting in Tripoli has shifted to the airport.

In CNN-footage, a burnt-out Afriqiah Airbus (being A300-620 5A-IAY, as "AY" is visible on the top of the tail) can be seen, as well as a burning aircraft (being A300 5A-DLZ) in Libyan Al c/s.

TS-IAY was reregistered as 5A-IAY in 2007; apparently, it is -or rather, WAS- the personal plane of one of Khaddafi's sons...

,indeed typo ... The believed / captured Lockerbie person was also flown towards Libya on this A300.

The family of Khaddafi also used Falcon 900's, BD5000's and a CL850 however the where about of these planes is unknown at the moment.
