Remarks: EMERGENCY LANDING!!!."AFR 620" had to divert to Lajes with some problems on engine #2. This was a flight from Paris to Guadeloupe that ended on a emergency landing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, this aircraft landed with the engine #2 on idle position and had to wait for a new engine that arrived two days later on a Air France 747F, the passengers stayed the night on Terceira waiting for another T7 to take them to their destination. Note the engine #2 that it is not motion blured as the #1.
Remarks: My first A-7 pic!! Sorry about the people in front of the airplane. I yelled at them "heyyyy!! someone is trying to do some plane spotting over here... come on..." still no effect, just kidding lol, hope you don't mind :p.

Remarks: Second time I see this "flying building" landing at Azores. Amazing view, it burned rubber for half of the runway's lenght!!!! (total runway lenght: 3312m).
Remarks: Bird Strike!! One more kill on this Ac-130 list. The seagull is visible between the white smoke and the centerline. Minutes Later an Atlas Air 747 landed over the bird and split it into lots of pieces and reported bird strike :p Same seagull, 2 bird strikes!!! Not its lucky day I guess.
Bloody morning at Lajes.
