A while ago I posted a link to a gallery of the world's only remaining airworthy Caravelle, 3D-KIK, flying for the UN in the Congo.

Now one of the Swedish servicemen has made a video (with music, though) in very good quality showing the birds currently flying in and out of Kindu Airport - early 727s, C-130s, IL-76s.... and the Caravelle.

I think you will like it - rightclick on the link to download! [32 mb]

I think the Caravelle we saw in that video has now sadly burned out in an accident :(

Still got it on my computer. It's 32mb large so I can't email it. My MSN is [email]petertenthije@yahoo.com[/email]. Next time I am on MSN I will pass it through. Please drop me a line.

Yes, unfortunately true, 3D-KIK is no more. There went the last airworthy Caravelle... but luckily that very aircraft can be viewed over and over again on the brilliant Gabon Express DVD which has been out for a while!
