Centurion surrendered their certificate to the FAA. It’s only skylease and only 747s, who knows how many. I haven’t seen one in a few years. They may have 1 or 2

It's two. N903AR and N904AR, factory Fs, and they are flying to Asia reliably with heavy crews and insane utilization. I suspect that cash flow issues are a thing of the past at this point. Those aircraft have rarely sat anywhere for more than 2 hours for the last 5 months. And with fuel now cheap, they tank up and go nonstop 14 hours straight to China, load up, and fly China-ANC-Conus, unload, rinse and repeat. Every once in a while they run to BOG and back, but almost all Asia right now.

I guess they shouldn’t have scrapped every single MD-11 they had...

It along with the sole remaining Centurion are in Sanford Florida both have begun the scrapping process. Neither will ever fly again

let me put it this way, when the pilot group creates their own union and stops flying until checks are deposited, that’s when you know.
I haven’t heard much change since I had left. Again, this was years ago.
