Remarks: How long have I waited for this moment! This cockpit has lots of stories to tell in his 50 years of life. Former CS-TBD, was stored in Lisbon for more than 10 years! If this plane could talk it had lots of stories to tell, I'm sure of it!!!
Remarks: New to the database. I could barely make out the year on the slide; the rest of the date is gone. Viewed form the now removed Terminal 1 parking garage, this old classic is working its way to the gate after landing.
Remarks: [KR64] The presidential aircraft of Mobutu Sese Seko (hence this registration taken from his initials) was abandoned at Lisbon for more than 10 years
Remarks: Finally it's ready! What a nice work, TAP retro colours on this side, and on the other it wears the Portuguese Air Force 707 colours! It will be on static display, with full lighten cockpit... The Air Museum will open doors again in July!
Remarks: Probably Lisbon's most famous resident... at least at the airport. This very old lady is resting for her last days under the warm sun of Portugal. Used to be own by ex-dictator of Zaïre, Mobutu. Sadly scrapped in sept 2006.
