[1600px] This beautiful E190 of Brazilian Air Force arrived here on a very special mission: two E190s (VC-2) were scrambled to rescue Brazilian citizens in Wuhan, China, after the Coronavirus outbreak. A long flight for these birds, route BSB-FOR-LPA-WAW-URC-WUH. Many fuel stops due to the limited range of the E-Jets. Sadly, the Boeing 767 FAB2900 was already returned to lessor - it would be a much better plane for this mission. Here, the E-Jet FAB2590 (named "Bartolomeu de Gusmão") is seen taxiing to the stand for refuel, after arriving from Brasilia. All the best wishes to the people involved in this mission!
