[Full HD/1920px] The oldest Falcon 900 I've ever photographed so far, s/n 013! This frame, built in 1987, arrived LPCB on December 15th, 2023 from Buffalo Niagara Intl. (BUF/KBUF) via Terceira - Lajes (TER/LPLA) and will be the first aircraft to be parted out and scrapped in this airfield by TRMK Aeronautics (a Dassault Aviation Business Services partner company). Since I wasn't sure about the date of its scrapping, I planned a trip to Castelo Branco airfield before it would be too late. On the right side of the frame, one can see the airplane which brought us there, C172 CS-AUD. Special thanks to the pilots, my good friend Hugo and Álvaro, for the very smooth flights from/to Vilar de Luz (LPVL), and also to my girlfriend Inês for the company during this well-spent Sunday.
