Descrizione
Caravelle was the world's first jet-powered airliner developped for short to medium range service with a first flight in 1955 ; 50 years later the aircraft was retired from service. Luckily Just Planes filmed the classic plane in the late 90s in order to keep it alive!
Gabon Express started operated scheduled jet and prop services to various destinations in Gabon from 1998 to 2004. . At the time this program was filmed Gabon Express was the last airline in the world to operate a Caravelle in scheduled passenger service making this dvd a very unique experience.
The program also features the Hawker Sidley 748 and you will learn about both types of aircraft as you follow flights to very primitive fields in Africa. At Oyem the Caravelle must engage its reversers before landing due to the short runway!
An experience that cannot be missed is the air to air of the Caravelle over the coastline of Gabon, this is certainly one of the highlights of the World Air Routes series!
