EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Boeing 727-173C N695WA (msn 19509 / 459) of Air Mali, parked gracefully at Bamako Airport in circa 1972. The Boeing 727-173C, a versatile and iconic aircraft type, was manufactured by The Boeing Company and is identified by its distinctive hump over the fuselage, which housed an additional cabin or cargo hold. Air Mali, the national flag carrier of Mali, operated this particular 727-173C as part of its expanding fleet during the 1970s. The aircraft's registration number, N695WA, is clearly visible on the fuselage, along with the Air Mali logo and the Malian flag. Bamako Airport, located in the heart of Mali's capital city, served as a vital transportation hub during this era. The airport's runway, surrounded by the lush greenery and undeveloped landscape, provided the perfect backdrop for this photograph. The Boeing 727-173C was a popular choice for airlines worldwide due to its versatility and efficiency. It could be configured for various seating arrangements, including passenger and cargo configurations, making it an essential asset for both domestic and international operations. This photograph, taken circa 1972, provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation and Air Mali's role in connecting Mali and the world. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical aviation photographs that capture the spirit of a bygone era in air travel.
