We finally have good news!

Original manuals from Spantax

As a courtesy from Javier Arrondo, technical aeronautical engineer, we have at our disposal all the manuals you can see in the pictures. Almost all of them are of the Convair 990 Coronado, and they include samples from Convair, Swissair as well as Spantax. Though we already had a part scanned from a different source, thaks to this contribution at last we managed to obtain of the key manuals which we didn't have, the SRM or Structural Repair Manual. Historically this material has a great value, since it comprises maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, structural repair manuals, wiring diagrams, etc.

Our new equipment and next visit on Tuesday, July the 20th

Hello Friends!!

Thanks to your support with the donation for the fabric patch, the stickers and the safety cards we raised the amount of 299 € necessary to buy a small 2000 Watt generator on special offer. This device is very necessary for us since, due to the huge distance to the closes power outlet, we were limited to use only tools with batteries.

This way we'll be able to use sanders, power washers and other machinery we couldn't use until nowadays and that we'll try next July, the 20th.

Once agai, thanks a lot for your support. And remeber, if you want to get our exclussive heat and bond patch you only have to request it in our e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , contributing that way to save the Coronado.

The Coronado nowadays

This is a current sight of the SPANTAX EC-BZO 23 years after it was abandoned.

The passing of time and the absence of maintenance have caused corrosion and the accumulation of dust and dirt on it. On the other hand, the cockpit has been almost completely parted out. This is why we urgently need your help in order to prevent losing this piece marvel of the aeronautical engineering and of the tourist patrimony in the Balearic Islands.
