This immaculately preserved Kansan is part of the superb Museu do Ar collection and is ex 41-27622.

This is in fact an ex-Italian AF H-19 (MM57-5979), painted to represent the Portuguese AF's first helicopter, an H-19A based at Lajes in the Azores for SAR duties from 1954

By my reckoning the star of the superb Museo do Ar collection (I was lucky to catch her outside as more recently preserved inside the refurbished museum). Beautifully restored in 2006, there was some mystery about the aircraft's former identity but it appears to have been re-serialled from 6405 to 6403 in 1977. Served in Angola and was allocated D2-EPV at one stage. Originally built for UAT as F-BZGF and one of six from that source; another six with the wingtip booster jets were obtained direct from Nord, later joined by 18 N2501Ds from the WGAF.

Arriving from Malpensa as flight VE 5728.

Two brand new Futura 737-900s were flying for Arkefly this summer.

Going for Rwy 18R. The conversion of the sugar warehouses in Halfweg into office towers had just been completed.

A dream come true.
