I love this photo.

@ Mark, the aircraft belonged to VARIG Airlines from Brazil and the logo depicts a Compass Rose. Incidentally this airline provided the best service around until they folded in the late 1990s

For Christmas I got a bag tag that was cut from the skin of this aircraft. Great picture, thanks for uploading! Also this aircraft flew cargo for many years after Varig and was finally parked in 2011.
