Remark

Photographer

HZ-AIF (cn 22503/529) Is seen here on the very short final for the runway 03 in Lisbon airport, completing a VIP visit. One week before this photo, we were expecting the SP, but instead a triple seven appeared. It was a bit disappointing, but hope is the last thing a spotter/photographer must loose, and so, a week later the classic SP made its rare appearance here. I personally consider the SP as one of those "cult" aircrafts. They were always very rare, and today only 14 are active from the originally 45 built.
