Not a bad location for some photography Robert (plus some different operators and liveries), and it brought back some good memories of Rio back in February 2006.

Here is a shot of the Domestic Airport from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain


The cable car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain




Copacabana Beach looking towards Sugarloaf - the large tents on the beach were for a free Rolling Stones concert which was attanded by over a million people. The stage was being built behind the tents.


The Corcovado - very impressive


A TAM flight tracking past the Corcovado at roughly the same height for the domestic airport


The escalator at the Corcovado descended into the clouds - an amazing sight


Something for aircraft to watch out for during their approach
