[1200px] This was one of the best moments of my life as a Planespotter... Murray Air Douglas DC-8-73(CF) with basic UPS colors leaving runway 35 to Santa Maria (SMA/LPAZ) after a technical stop for Crew rest, having arrived from Kuwait (KWI/OKBK) in the previous night. Due to the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which closed the majority of the European Airspace, we were privileged to welcome a lot of incredible movements for fuel and Crew rest that we wouldn't be able to see at all in normal circumstances.
