Mobutu's Boeing 707, 9T-MSS

Lisbon Airport, Portugal view map

This luxurious private plane was seized by Portuguese authorities, during the coup that ousted corrupt dictactor of Zaire Mobutu. Some people that got inside, said the water taps and other metalic objects were of pure gold. It was stationed for some years at Lisbon Airport, now I really don't know it's fate...
Dismantled in 2005...
707-382B Year built: 1968 Before, belonged to TAP as CS-TBD Name: Lourenço Marques
Delivery Date: 1968-10-14
What a fate: From Lisbon, to die in Lisbon...
Really shocking Portuguese Authorities did not recover this TAP icon!!!!
