Airplane wrecks at Libreville Airport

Pictures taken August 2002

These old flying machines may once have been the pride of a prestigious airline, later the workhorses of the African skies until ... until they ended up on this parking in Libreville.

They combine the beauty of good old fashioned design with the African way of living : there is a solution for all problems and off you go.

Now sticky oil is dripping on the tires, trapped visitors become actors in a static version of Jurassic Park. Maybe in a few thousand years from now people will think that airplanes killed the dinosaurs ?
