Flew on Air Columbus back in early 90's as a child with family flying from Dublin to Faro. Can always remember the roaring noise in the cabin. Thanks for posting the video air1luis.
@theirishmaniac08 If you are referring to 9Q-CMC, Jean-Pierre Bemba, a former Vice President of DR Congo, was using it has his personal transport. He has (had?) a villa in the Algarve and a yatch in Vilamoura marina. He was arrested in Brussels in 2008 on an ICC arrest warrant and charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
I was working in Air Columbus at Madeira for 2 years...... from 1989 to 1991.
A great time in my live.

Back when airports actually had something worth spotting, instead of yet another 737 / A32x variant...

The 1990s were a glorious time when airlines
(even the smaller ones like Air Columbus)
weren't scared to have a little colour on their paint schemes.
These days, it seems most airlines are so cheap,
it's like there's a competition to see
who can be the most plain, boring and all-white.
I just read on Wikipedia that Air Columbus flew 727s
to my hometown of Montreal from the Azores.

Very nice. That's a Super 27 conversion with the -217 engines.
