A group view of the Museo Aeroespacial de la Fuerza Aérea Boliviana. I'd dearly hoped to gain admission but despite attempts to make contact in advance, could not determine if the museum would be open. In the event on arriving at the El Alto gate, I was told that only groups of 10+ with a week's advance permission are allowed in. Huge disappointment, but at least I was able to shoot the heavies displayed outside during my 1992 visit while still in service. Since preservation, the presidential Electra TAM-01 (my photo here) has been re-marked as TAM-69 which it wore 1973/1975

Like the Beech 1900 parked nearby, this 146 is operated by Minera San Cristóbal. The mine is an open-pit silver, lead and zinc site in Potosi department. The aircraft was delivered to Air BC in June 1988 as C-FBAF and went on to Air Canada Jazz before being registered in Bolivia in 2010

CP-1655 is known as "El Payaso" (The Clown) due to the figure painted on its tail. Apparently flyable till about 2012, this C-46 has a long history going back to 1945 when it was delivered to the USAAF as 44-77898. Later N3986C, HK-78, N3958A, SE-CFH (Transair), PP-BUB and registered CP-1655 in 1983 to Universal Ltda. Most recently operated for Servicio Aereo del Oriente

A shot snatched during take-off of a few of the many stored aircraft at La Paz. The Hercules is CP-1376, and next to it, of most interest to me, the unique CL-66 FAB-74 which is ex RCAF CC-109 Cosmopolitan 109154. The C-47 which appears to be ex Bolivian AF is unidentified

Preserved at the gate of I Brigada Aérea at El Alto is this T-33, which has fairly recently replaced an AT-6. It was ex French AF 21132. There are two aircraft that have used the serial 634 - the other is a T-33 at Cochabamba used as an instructional airframe. The last of T-Birds were retired as recently as 2017 and seeing this one reminds me of watching them take about two miles of runway to get airborne in the thin air up at 13,600ft when I was last there in 1992. The tail markings celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bolivian AF

Just arrived on this to explore the otherworldly salt flats of Uyuni. OB304 from La Paz. Ex PR-GZG (Gol), VT-JTM (Jet), TC-CCP (Pegasus) and D-ABKG (Air Berlin). The passengers were led straight into the small terminal but I deviated as far as I could get away with for this shot

This T-33 was formerly RCAF 133162 and was obtained by Bolivia in 1973, but in 1977 made a crash-landing after mechanical difficulty on a race course near Oruro, about 140 mi south of La Paz. It was installed as a monument here in 1982, initially in phoney camouflage colours, but was later returned to its original natural metal scheme
