Photo Comment

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
