Notes:

I had never seen any airplane doing a touch down so forward on the runway in LPPR before. And seeing it done by an A330 was just surreal. It looked like the pilot was not sure he wanted to touch down. He just kept hovering and hovering the runway in what looked like an eternity, until he finally decided to touch the runway. One of the great moments in my spotting career...
