Notes:

[1200px] A very sad view: this freighter 727 and the passenger B737-200 next to it were once proud workhorses of VASP, a beautiful and beloved Brazilian airline. After VASP ceased operations in 2005, their jets were stored in several Brazilian airports. These two remained derelict at Recife until finally meeting their fate in 2013, sadly being scrapped.

Thank you so much, Edu! Wish I could have photographed these birds when they were still active...
