One of the highlights of our Easter visit to Paris was this Boeing 747-8 (BBJ) owned by the Morocco Government, which brought small group of chosen. After the third police guard expelled us uncompromisingly from the place, I decided to take a high risk and for a few seconds returned to the fence by run of my life to photograph this beauty.
Belgian Prime Minister used for its today´s visit to Bratislava this ERJ-145 of Valljet, which still carries colours from its service with Eastern Airways.
Two repatriation flights took place from Budapest to Nigeria, first with Air Peace B777-300 and second with this Azman Air A340-600 that would otherwise not be allowed to land in Europe.
In the first wave of coronacrisis Boeing 787-9s of Juneyao Airlines landed at Bratislava several times with medicine cargo. Today this example arrived at Bratislava to pick-up repatriants from Ukraine.
War in Ukraine expelled also thousands of foreigners and their countries try to bring them home. This C-17A of Indian Air Force landed today at Bratislava to repatriate citizens of India to their home country.
The biggest attraction for me to visit Salzburg after a long time was attractive red A321neo of Play, which shows nicely in the afternoon sun in front of the local scenery.
Since charter flights by Soviet aircraft stopped, I somehow forgot about visiting Salzburg. However, after 8 years, the combination of corona situation in aviation and beautiful weather changed my mind. One of the rewards was the visit of this Icelandair Boeing 757-300, which commemorates 100 years of Icelandic Independence.
Almost everything changed regarding winter charter flights to Salzburg in the last decade. TUI Airways for example operates frequently with its new Boeing 737-8 MAX. But the moles still love the soil around the runways :-)
The last of the trio of DC-3s that more-less regularly operate from Opa Locka these days, does not attract too much by its colours, however a white DC-3 is still better than all those boring Ryanairs and Wizz Airs...
