The delivery journey of Argentina's latest Presidential aircraft acquisition, a Boeing 757-256, registration ARG-01, commenced on Wednesday, May 17, bound for the capital of the South American nation. ARG-01 is pictured here sitting on the ramp at Dallas Love Field's Associated Air Center following a quick flight down from Salina, Kansas where it received maintenance work. Interestingly, the aircraft seems to have been christened "Islas Malvinas" (also known as the Falkland Islands) just behind the cockpit windows. In April, C&L Aerospace, a subsidiary of C&L Aviation Group, successfully finalized the sale of this VVIP-configured Boeing 757 to the Argentine government. Under the agreement, the trade-in of the existing presidential Boeing 757 was included, along with a $25 million loan sanctioned by the Argentine government to finance the acquisition. The newly acquired presidential aircraft is designed to accommodate up to 39 passengers and features a master suite along with two additional bedrooms. The previous Boeing 757-200, equipped with Rolls-Royce RB211 engines, will be listed for sale by C&L "as-is." As a result of the replacement, the previous Tango 01, which has been preserved at Palomar, the headquarters of the I Air Brigade of the Argentine Air Force, will be retired. Interestingly, the Mexican government offered its controversial Boeing 787, which is now owned by the government of Tajikistan, as part of the transaction.
