Notes:

The magnificent ATP and the civilian terminal on the background. I miss the sound of those PW126 engines and the view of this great airplane.

CS-TGN - British Aerospace ATP - SATA Air Açores

About to land at Graciosa after a short flight from Lajes, This was the very last day that the ATP would be flying commercially for SATA Air Açores, unfortunately! After a quick stop we would be flying back to Terceira island and thereafter to Ponta Delgada for the last leg of almost 20 years of service
