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.

Signature gathering for the declaration as a Good of Cultural Interest. Help us!

Hello everybody.

As many of you already know, from the "Amics de Son Sant Joan" association we are striving to avoid the loss of the Spantax Convair 990 Coronado aircraft with registration EC-BZO, which is abandoned in an appendix to the East military apron of the Son Sant Joan Air Base.

In addition to the group we created a year and a half ago in the social network Facebook, called "Salvemos el Convair Coronado de Spantax", 8 months ago we started to work intensively on the development of a dossier to request the declaration of the aircraft as a good of cultural interest. After the work was done we produced a document of more than 40 pages which explains in detail the history of this aircraft from its roll out at the Convair factory until nowadays.

In order to demonstrate to the institutions that people is also concerned with our aviation-historic and tourist-historic heritage we have created a form for collecting signatures, which we will show in the next meeting with the representatives of the heritage of the Balearic Islands. if you want to cooperate with our initiative please click HERE

Please, refrain from signing if you do not wish to provide or do not hold a passport number.

Once again, thank you very much for your support.

Best regards.

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.
