July 5th 2021: The world's last operational (though not airworthy) Caravelle taxis under its own power in Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Sweden. We were even able to spool up the Rolls-Royce Avon engines up to climb power for sound recordings for the Caravelle Simulator. A wonderful experience after having waited for so long. Thanks to the great people at Le Caravelle Club and Arlanda Airport for making this possible and keeping the legendary aircraft in such good condition.
