707 DreamlinerPhotographed
at Miami in the latter half of August 2011, 9Q-CLK has been test flown
following almost twelve months of heavy maintenance. During its layup,
all four engines, the landing gear, all flight controls and the APU
have been replaced and all corrosion removed. The aircraft is due
to be returned to its owner, the Government of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, on 29 August 2011, just ten days shy of the 52nd anniversary
of her first flight as VH-EBG on 8 September 1959. |
