This beauty was one of two aircraft at La Paz marked TAM-01 (the other a preserved C-47, really TAM-16). The Electra began with AA as N6134A "Flagship Memphis" in Feb 1960 and was sold to LAB as CP-853 in Aug 1968. She joined the FAB as TAM-69 in 1973 and became the presidential transport in 1975 as TAM-01. After many years derelict, now in the embryonic Bolivian AF museum at El Alto. I even enquired about buying the aircraft on behalf of a European party but was told it would never be sold as it is a national monument This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
