When driving through Maputo – the capital of Mozambique – you can’t help but notice that on the side of the main road in the bushes are some very large aircraft – both planes and helicopters. As driving on the main road makes it difficult to get a good picture, I used Google maps/satellite to give you all a few aerial pictures of what we’re seeing on the ground. The question this week is what do you think these planes are or were for? As I have internet access (we’re heading today to South Africa to pick up a mission team) I’ll post a hint or two to help direct your thoughts. Remember these planes are somewhat in the middle of the city and from ground level are now almost hidden by tall weeds/grass/foliage.
Could it be related to war?
It is now a tourist attraction. I dont believe they are decommissioned yet but would be neat to meet the pilots if they are still active.Not saying yet but suprisingly they are numbered and still part of inventory.
