EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of a Boeing B707-328B, specifically the Air France aircraft with the registration number F-BHSZ, also known as Chateau de Kerjean (msn 18459, line no.335). First taking to the skies on March 12, 1963, this jetliner was delivered to Air France just a few weeks later. However, its history took a tragic turn on December 3, 1969, when it crashed during take-off from Simon Bolivar International Airport in Caracas, Venezuela. En route to Pointe-a-Pitre-Le Raizet Airport in Guadeloupe, the flight ended in disaster, claiming the lives of all 62 people on board. The accident report regarding this incident has been classified until 2029, but evidence has emerged suggesting the involvement of high explosives in the crash. Decomposition products of these explosives were detected around components of the port main undercarriage. Despite this intriguing mystery, the image stands as a poignant reminder of the majesty and the potential risks associated with aviation history.
