Landing on runway 05 on this cold morning.

With EI-RDO. Both were withdrawn from use in 2021, EI-RDH arrived here for storage on 3 November that year. The engine inlet covers wear the logo of their owner: Nordic Aviation Capital.

Withdrawn from use on 4 October 2021 and arrived here exactly one week later for storage.

'Avalon Beach' over the threshold of runway 05 for its last landing ever. Although this Triple Seven was less than 15 years old at the photo date, it had been sold for parts and arrived here to be dismantled, with the engines to be removed the next day already. The final journey started in Darwin on 31 March with a leg to Muscat. Next day, VPD had diverted to Maastricht because the weather would now allow the mandatory VFR arrival here; on this Sunday it worked.

Formerly D-FRAS and out of maintenance at Mönchengladbach with a test fligth on 24 February 2023. Had been flying mainly from there to Salzburg and Hamburg since then.

Operated by SennAir before and now with Aerial East. Part of the previous colour scheme has been changed into all dark grey. This helo was leaving the Red Bull area as the last in a flight of three.

Departing from the Red Bull apron as number two in a flight of three helicopters towards Munich.

Hardly readable from this distance, there are small HeliSeven titles below the Airbus mark, behind the fitting registration. Based in Mannheim and leaving as the number one in a flight of three helicopters from the Red Bull area. Original type designation is AS350B3e.

Adorned with tail art in January 2023, honoring Norwegian writer Jacobine Camilla Collett who was born on 23 January 1813. The 737 was delivered to FlyDubai in December 2010 and also operated by South Korean Eastar Jet during 2019-2020. With Norwegian since March 2022.

This 2006 airframe's history is well-documented here. Operating as shown a little over a year at the photo date. Seen leaving the stand for its return flight to Gatwick as BY4647/TOM20K.

Arriving via the circling approach after six-and-a-half hours in the air as flight FZ1449. Was delivered new in August 2022.

Allocated to Heli Austria's subdivision in Tyrol but appears to have been operating mainly in the state of Salzburg this January. Built in 1996 and started as a company demonstrator, then served the USCG as 9041. Back to MD with original regi N9213Q and with the Dutch national police as such from 2003, still in USCG livery. To MD again as N902LH, then in Jordan followed by the UAE as A6-JJJ. With Heli Austria/Heli Tirol since 2013. Seemed to be making a lunch stop here, not an emergency response.

The Empress has been moved again to near where she taxied onto the premises in 2010. On both sides, the Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers logo has been painted over and small DC-6 Truck Parts titles were added to the rear fuselage, the current name of the company behind this technology museum under development.

Marksman conversion #5 of just eight, a true gem saved by the Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers owners from further decay at the SAAF Museum, that lacked funding for this non-air force aircraft. High-speed civil executive Invader conversion, pressurized and fitted with DC-6 flat windshields and cockpit side windows. Originally A-26B 44-34567, to N9412Z in 1960 with On Mark Engineering at Van Nuys, CA. As ZS-CVD to the Iron & Steel Industrial Corporation (ISCOR), 1962 to 1976.

This was Aeroflot CCCP-07787 from 1975 until 1998, when sold to Lesotho. Impounded there in 2001, later illegally entered South Africa in 2005 and confiscated at Bapsfontein. At its present location since 2018, registration painted over but readable. The damage was caused by a grass fire at Bapsfontein in 2008.

Reported to have been named Little Solly by the mayor of Tshwane in 2017.

The southernmost aircraft at the fire dump, still identifiable by the remains of the text 'A Step Ahead' on this side of the forward fuselage. An HS125, already missing its tail, is hiding behind the propliner.

A distant view from the airport entrance, at the dump and fire training area along what was once the beginning of runway 35. From front to back are F28 ZS-JES, a yet unidentified PA-31 (tailfin visible), Jetstar 9G-ABF, Gulfstream II ZS-MMG, BAC 111 ZS-NUG, an HS125 not visible here and DC-6 EL-WNH.
