This is my AIR
PANAMA 727-100 "Cerro Ancon", in its tricolor livery, used by the
middle of the 80´s.
By that time, the
original Air Panama airline was owned and operated by the Panamanian government.
The tricolor livery is a remembrance of the patriotic feeling lived during that
controversial period in our national history.
During those years, I was attending
senior high school. A classmate's father, used to fly this airplane as a
flight engineer.
The model is an Airfix 727-200 in
1/144 scale. The fuselage was cut into two sections to fit the size of a
-100 version. The decals were custom made by myself, using decal paper.
