Just saw this in Skyliner tonight great news.

Govt of DR Congo
back in svc 20may14 FIH-ORY after repairs from an incident late 2013





If I recall it was significantly damaged by gunfire and or bullets and there was some question if it was repairable or a write off, hopefully we will see it at JFK in September for the next U.N. General Assembly.

Cheers

There are a lot of pretty airplanes out there, but I think one of the prettiest is the Boeing 707/720 and KC-135 series...
