Having photographed her two years earlier in the marks of Air Martinique, this was one of five Caravelles shot on my first visit to Bogotá. Went on to Lineas Aereas Suramericanas and like sister-ship HK-2597X, ended up in storage at Panama City/Tocumen in 12.93, where she was scrapped by the mid-Nineties

The only time I've ever seen a Martin 2-0-2. This one was first delivered to Northwest Orient way back in 11.47 and arrived in Colombia in 1973 after service with Central American as N71R. Wfu by 1977 and eventually disposed of from the dump which was out in mid-field and also contained a couple of DC-4s, a C-46 and an A-26

After conversion from CV-340 in 2.67, continued to fly for Allegheny (N5820); to Seair Alaska 4.78, Kelowna 9.87 (C-GKFQ) and Evergreen (N580EH) 10.88. Sold to Aerovias Especiales de Carga 2.90 then Aerocar 6.94. My friend Nicky from Switzerland was with me and took the same shot - when his was published in the next JP, they cloned out the 727 behind as it if had never been there! Aircraft taken by Colombian Army as EJC121 in 8.96 and operated in same basic colours

A fair number of Caravelles found their way to Colombia in later years; this one spent its entire service life in South America, being delivered to Panair do Brasil as PP-PDZ in 9.62 and sold to Aerotal in 11.78. Wfu around the time of this photo and later b/u

My first trip to the legendary Villavicencio was aboard this wonderful old machine. Had the choice of a DC-3 or DC-4, both delayed by bad weather over the mountains. Well looked after by a very pleasant crew, the FAC pilots just like they were out of a WW2 B-17

Operated at this time by the Colombian civil aviation authority, this former USN R4D-6 was acquired from the FAA (N69). She remained in Colombia, flying commercially with Interandes and ADES until crashing as recently as 2007 (see my shot as HK-1149 with Interdandes)

AeroNorte changed to Lineas Aereas Suramericanas in 1986 but the name was revived in 1991, when this C-118 was acquired. Originally Bu No. 131611 delivered to the USN in 1953 and to MASDC at Davis Monthan in 6.77. Stored at Bucaramanga in Colombia from 12.99, became N680AF in 2004 but still there

Quite a collection of piston power. After much research with a Colombian expert, the identity of this C-47 is now known (2021), as are several of the previously unknown FAC Daks. FAC677A turns out to be the former N91379, which was delivered to Colombia circa 1981. I was lucky enough to be able to tour the COTAM ramp allowing for close up shots of that rare DC-7 (FAC923) which was originally BOAC's G-AOIA, although the weather didn't play ball.

In 11.75 Avianca bought this 727 from Pan Am, her owner as N326PA since new in 5.66. Seen here in nice evening light, she was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on 27.11.89 (set by the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar) while climbing through FL130 after departure from Bogotá for Cali with the loss of all on board
