Notes:

[Full HD/1920px] Learning that HiFly would retire the only Airbus A380 ever based in Portugal and since I didn't had any previous opportunity to take some decent shots of it, I made everything I could to drive around 1000 kms in one day just to catch this historic moment. MOONRAKER 380 SUPER is seen pushing back for the very last time from stand 07 at Beja's Civil Terminal before departing from runway 01L, performing 2 low passes over the field, proceeding to the Atlantic Ocean to draw a giant heart abeam the coast between Sines and Ericeira and finally plotting its way towards Toulouse (TLS/LFBO) on return to lessor and having its extraordinary Save The Coral Reefs livery removed.
