Hi All
On Sunday the 7th March I was told that a B727-100 N4610 had landed at Wonderboom Airport North of Pretoria it was due to depart for another airport Pietersburg, at 1600 local.
Two of us went to see this plane before it departed, we photo'ed it, colours being white with a thin blue line below the windows. Painted squares on the tail (US flag) side engines (USAF roundal) below engine pods (serial no's) and rear air stairs, cicular painted marks on panels on hand holds.
N4610 ex National A/L, was transferred to the USAF and then to Dodsons Aviation. I believe that this reg and aircraft is genuine, Dodsons is represented in South Africa at Wonderboom A/P, and N4610 was sitting outside their hangar. Standing inside the hangar were, I would say at least 15-20 Black people with bags, cases etc.
Nobody stopped us taking photo's, but we could see that the maintenance/crew? were not happy.
