Delivered in April 1999. Still active with the same airline. This was the aircraft involved in the serious incident over the Atlantic Ocean when it ran out of fuel and glided for some 20 minutes and preformed an emergency landing at LPLA in the Azores Islands, none of the 293 passengers & 13 crew were injured but all the tyres blew up on landing. Seen here in the original colours for the type. Photographer: Fernando Mesquita Original Kodachrome 25 Fernando Mesquita Slide Collection
