The Tango D10S, a 12-seater funded by an Argentine fintech, is designed as a flying museum in tribute to the former World Cup winner, who died of a heart attack in November 2020.
Wings present his two goals in Argentina’s 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals: the ‘Hand of God’ goal on the left wing and the winner , a goal widely regarded as the greatest of all time, on the right.
“I’m crazy about Maradona, one of those people who still watches videos of Diego before going to sleep at night,” Gaston Kolker, CEO of fintech company Give and Get, told Reuters.
“It’s the first World Cup without Maradona and maybe the last with (Lionel) Messi. I said, I want to do Diego’s plane, I want to do Diego’s plane. And so we have launched Tango D10S.
“When Maradona’s teammates saw it, the 1986 World Cup winners, they were amazed, they were mesmerized by the plane,” Kolker said during an unveiling with other members of this World Cup winning team.
The plan is to fly the plane around Argentina and possibly Qatar for the World Cup in November.
Fans will be able to board the plane and leave a message for Maradona in the cockpit, ‘interact’ with the late player using artificial intelligence and view memorabilia of him and other players from the 1986 team .
It will also be available for private hire before being auctioned off for charity.
“We can’t believe or understand this madness, the love involved,” Maradona’s daughter Dalma said. “How far will the fans go? To a plane.”
