Lima Airport - including Peruvian Military and civil Antonovs

[Tim R-T-C]

Hi all,

 

I'm not a regular plane photographer - mostly when travelling on holiday. Back in Autumn 2015 we went to Peru for some hiking and had a four hour layover in Lima. A found a nice quiet window and was treated to some incredibly diverse displays of military aircraft and vintage 737s. Here are a few highlights which I hope may be of use for some.

 

Apologies for the very grainy photos - not expecting to be getting any plane photos, I only had a bridge camera with me:

Some really interesting catches there! The An-32s are very smokey, aren't they?

That's more like it!

 

Ah..... I can just hear those Antonov 32s now :). Wonderful!
