Spotting near Santos Dumont Airport (Rio)
Was in Rio for the Paralympics and had the chance to do some brief spotting while waiting for the sailing near Santos Dumont Airport (domestic airport in Rio).
AZUL Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras (PR-AZD) Embraer ERJ-190AR GOL Transportes Aéreos (PR-GIM) Boeing 737-73V GOL Transportes Aéreos (PR-GUZ) Boeing 737-8EH(WL) Avianca Brasil (PR-ONC) Airbus A318-122 TAM Linhas Aereas (PT-TMB) Airbus A319-132 TAM Linhas Aereas (PR-MYM) Airbus A319-112 GOL Transportes Aéreos (PR-VBX) Boeing 737-7BX GOL Transportes Aéreos (PR-GEH) Boeing 737-76N(WL) GOL Transportes Aéreos (PR-GIG) Boeing 737-73S Also was interesting to watch the aircraft fly around Sugarloaf Mountain and line up with the runway.

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

Nice shots Robert
The last two give an interesting perspective. How far where the aircraft away from the mountain ? |

To be honest, no idea but would be rather close.

I would happily recommend a helicopter flight around Rio, we caught a flight from Aeroporto de Jacarepaguá, in the Barra da Tijuca area.
After flying down the coast and circling Christ the Redeemer we headed out towards the Contemporary museum and then flew in from the bay and crossed the middle of Santos Dumont Airport runway at a perpendicular angle, then headed to the Maracanã stadium and the forest. |
