Jet2 737-800 landing at Faro | G-JZHF

A smooth, late morning arrival into the south of sunny Portugal. I was quite surprised to pull up on stand next to an ex-Congo Government 727, which has apparently been stored at Faro since 2007 (reg 9Q-CMC). It is the first 727 I have ever seen in person, and she was a stunner, despite being a bit sandy and dusty from years of storage.
