"Frozen in time" doesn't even begin to describe this. The sight of this plane and Nicosia airport is tragic and haunting, yet beautiful in a way only abandonment can be. | |
After this aircraft had it's accident it was bought by a Cypriot businessman , he then had the wings remoived and the fusilage moved to an area just outside the airport grounds . It was to be a "cafe" with aircraft sounds through the speakers, with airline stewardes type waiters . It was rocket attacked during the 1974 war It is now inside the United Nations Buffer zone | |
Difficult place to take a photo | |
How did you get this picture? Did you manage to get access to the airport? | |
Excellent photo - but the report that quotes overrunning runway 14 must be wrong as the wreckage lies to the north of the airfield. Must have been reciprocal runway 32. | |
Nicosia's airport is abounded thats why the wreckage is still there. keep in mind that 38% of Cyprus is under Turkish occupation since 1974 when they invated the Island | |
You got it! | |
