The 747 is scheduled for the Friday flight ( MAD-VVI is on Sat then) but obviously it sells First and Business as well as long as those are not Y-Class as well.

Felicidades to Aerosur. The Bolivian community in Spain is quite large, not sure if it warrants a 747-300 between MAD andVVI. What is the frequency of this flight?
Thanks for posting the video as well as the pictures of the cabin!

Quoting Hardiwv (Reply 16): I can tell you Aerosur will steal a lot of pax from AA
Not likely. They may take a couple Bolivia-point of sale pax but AA has nothing to worry about. How many Latin American carriers have they seen come and go at MIA?

am i the only one finding the manoeuvre NOT SAFE......? That wingtip is really close to the ground, and making such a low fly by just seems reckless, be it a delivery flight or not.....it wouldn't be my kind of show....

That was a nice video. However, The pilot turned that plane a little to sharp. If had been any lower to the ground the tip of the left wing would have hit the runway. This fly bys are not all that smart for the larger aircraft this low to the ground.

Is that the lowest and closest to the the ground bank ever on a 747?? lol that's nuts! Thanks for that link dude! What a wonderful video. I loved the closeup of the Bull on the ground, WOW! looks amazing.
Quoting AlitaliaMD11 (Reply 3):
Does anyone know what Aerosur is doing with the 767 parked in the background and who the former operator was?
ex ET-AIF with Ethiopian. And I hate how this Aerosur 767 is painted in the regular white scheme probably because they wanted to keep it simple and business-like (BOOORING) since it's going to "fly to Miami" blah!
How about painting Aerosurito's face or the bird logo or something purple in that fuselage! It's scheduled to replace the 727 in just a few more days that has been flying the MIA route for the last few months. Not sure why the 757 has been parked.
senator McCain, thank you for your honorable service

I would have been nice to have been standing on the runway and have that thing fly above one's head so low. Man I wish i was there to see it. It reminds of the pic of an Air Zimbabwe 707 that I saw a few years ago which made what has to have been the lowest pass by a jetliner that I've ever seen.

Did I see the 743 in Cochabamba??-----scheduled flight or demo?? Thanks in advance.

33 Jfk777: I just love teh HUGE PURPLE BULL, it just makes a beautiful beast.
34 NA: Agreed, that was one of the most dangerous manouvres I´ve ever seen. Stunning to watch, but 1/10th of a second from desaster.
35 A388: I agree, that bank is not a close call, not even close to it. At the steepest point when the 747 passes the 727 on the video you will see that the wi

59 Bennett123: Why did he bank at all. Why not climb out first. Whilst I can see that Tenerife was a terrible shock for KLM, must others learn the same way.
