20 Years ago JustPlanes was very lucky to have been invited to Gabon to film the very last Caravelle operating in scheduled passenger service. Our crew was able to take no less than 10 flights on this aircraft across the country of Gabon and was even able to film one air to air flight with some amazing memorable footage of the aircraft!
The Caravelle first flew on May 27th 1955, a total of 282 units were built and nearly 100 airlines operated them until the aircraft was retired in 2005.
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!
