This 1982 built Bell 222 became the presidental helicopter of Madagascar in late 2003. Previous registrations of this airframe were N1982P, N18UC, N990JB, C-GSVD, N32GH, XA-SII, and N444MA. It was operated by Madagascar's small Air Force but actually flown by foreign pilots. After less than two years in service, it was written off after an accident on October 12, 2005. Coming in a bit too fast and with tailwind, the underpowered helicopter hit the ground hard, rolled over and caught fire. Luckily, all seven persons on board - incl. the then president Marc Ravolomanana - walked away unhurt.

Registered in the Comores but pictured while for maintenace work on the neighbouring island of Madagascar. This 1978 built airframe was later sold to "Go Comores" and repainted, but suffered an accident on July 19, 2019 while attempting an emergency landing at its home base Moroni airport, Comores Island. Luckily, all 10 passengers and the sole pilot escaped, but the aircraft was partially destroyed by a post crash fire and subsequently written off.

Before this 1985 built airframe joint Comores Aviation International in late February 2010, it has already been in service with several US, British and South African airlines, and as such carried six different registrations (N352PS, N172PS, G-WLCY, G-ZAPL, EI-PAT and ZS-SFZ). It's final "station Comores" was rather short lived, with D6-BJH already stored in June of 2010, a bare four month after it was put in service. Looks like I was lucky to catch it on one of only a few flights during those four month....scrapped in 2013.

This airframe is the latest addition to Ethiopian Airlines 12 aircraft strong 737-8 Max 8 fleet. It first flew as N4022T on October 26, 2022 and was delivered to the Addis Abeba based airline on December 7, 2022. It mostlikely replaced sistership ET-AVJ, which was lost on March 10, 2019 near Bishoftu some 40km south of Addis, unfortunately killing all 157 souls on board. The crash finally grounded the entire worldwide 737 Max fleet for almost two years, with brazilian low-cost carrier GOL being the first airline to resume commercial flights with the Max on December 9, 2020.

Tsaradia started operating in July of 2018 as a joint venture of Air Madagascar and Air Austral (La Reunion). As such, Tsaradia took over three DHC-6 Twin Otter and three ATR-72 from Air Madagascar (among them 5R-EJA pictured here), plus two ATR-72 from Air Austral. The main purpose of the airline is to serve the domestic routes of Madagascar and the airport of Saint Denis de la Reunion-Gillot (FMEE). Tsaradia means "Safe journey" / "Good travel" in the local malagasy language. The DHC-6's, of which only 5R-MGD (c/n 329) received the new livery, have now been withdrawn from use.

For almost 21 years, this 1994 built B737-300 flew for Air Madagascar, before it joined the fleet of Trans Air Congo as TN-MAN in May of 2015. The airframe is reported to be stored in Amman (Jordan) since March 2019. It is seen here during better days, taxying out for it's first commercial flight in the (then) new Air Madagascar livery. After a severe political crises in 2002, which brought the national airline of Madagascar close to bankruptcy, Lufthansa Consulting helped Air Madagascar to get "back on track". This attractive livery was part of the re-branding.

This 1986 built IL-76 first saw service with the Soviet AF, then with the Ukraine AF before Volare Aircompany bought it in December of 1997. It was one of four IL-76 each bringing a SAAF Oryx helicopter for relief work to Madagascar, after Cyclone Gafilo hit the island severely in March 2004. It is seen here - loaded with an Oryx - departing TNR and heading back to South Africa.

This B737 was the only dash 500 with La Reunion based Air Austral. In November of 1990, it was delivered new to Europe Aero Service as F-GHXN but joined the Air Austral fleet already a month later (December 19, 1990). As such, it was a frequent visitor to Madagascar's capital Antananarivo, and the picture shown here was shot from the control tower, exposing the typical rice fields in the background. Withdrawn from use in 2011 and scrapped in October 2012.

It took me 3 years to get permission to photograph this sole Madagascar AF Super Rallye, about the history of which I was not able to find much despite a big research effort (so any information would be appreciated). Also, I have never seen it flying between 2002 and 2005 (when I stayed in Madagascar), even though the batch behind the cockpit says "Sécurisation", revealing the aircraft's main role would be restoring law and order, mainly by fighting "cow chiefs", a common and huge problem in remote places of Madagascar. Fate of this airframe is unknown.

This 1977 built Corvette has been re-registered a few times. It started in France with test registration F-WNGS before becoming F-BYCR. Then between June 1982 and March 1983 in Denmark as OY-ARB (in full "Sterling" colors), from where it went to Sweden as SE-DEE. It became F-GKGD (with "Gallic" titles) on October 29, 1991, went on to Morocco in August of 1998 (becoming CN-TCS) before making it to Madagascar in September 2001. It has been stored in Toulouse/Blagnac since 2005, probably broken up by now.

This Challenger was the first of four to carry registration N529DM, which was changed to N529D (as pictured here) when N529DM was assigned to CL604 c/n 5575 (see previous picture), and later to CL605 cn 5711 and cn 5880! A bit confusing to say the least, and a good sample that serious research is needed at times....
