Boeing 767-300ER, operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as PH-BZK. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines used the aircraft as part of its scheduled passenger or freight network. The aircraft represents an earlier generation of jet transport that helped shape the operator's network before newer types took over. PH-BZK identifies the individual airframe rather than merely the model, and aircraft of this generation often accumulated long careers involving storage, resale, conversion, or service with secondary operators. Its history therefore forms part of the broader transition from late twentieth-century airliners to fleets built around more efficient engines, modern avionics, and lower operating costs.
Designed as a longer-range, higher-payload replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk, the A-7 Corsair II was first flown on September 27th, 1965. This aircraft entered service during the Vietnam war and later became one of only a few US Navy aircraft to serve with the US Air Force. It possessed cutting edge technologies; it was one of the first aircraft to use a turbofan engine, an internal navigation system and a "head-up" display. Late in its career, A-7s were used for pilot training and were parked outside of hangars in order to draw the attention of Soviet spy satellites away from the fledgling F-117. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
JC's 1:72 scale A-7 Corsair II model does great justice to this iconic aircraft. No detail has been overlooked, from the tinted bulletproof windscreen to the complete set of removable wing- and fuselage-mounted ordnance. This model has an opening hinged canopy with detailed pilot figure, two nose-mounted pitot tubes and arrestor hook detail. Details of the gear actuator and hydraulic lines are visible in the wheel wells. Its most unique feature is its steerable nose wheel, a finishing touch that is uncommon in any scale.
