9Q-CAM
Virunga Air Charter, Goma.
I (Brendan Odell) have visited C-47B 9Q-CAM (s/n 17142/34409) in Goma DRC on 12 June 2009. I can confirm from its logbook information, that prior to its sale to Virunga Air Charter in 1981 and reregistration to that company as 9Q-CAM, it held the identity of 9T-JDM between 1963 and 1980. The "JDM" sufffix was for Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, as it was his VIP aircraft, and still retains its original VIP interior, even now. He later changed his name to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngendu Wa Za Bang. (Mobutu Sésé Seko as he was more comonly known)
