Remark Photographer
HK-4374X (cn 49484/1315) It was a nice surprise to see this one at Rionegro, freshly painted in the livery of their West Caribbean Aruba subsidiary. Sadly 1 month later, on August 16th, this aircraft crashed in Venezuela, killing all 160 people on board. My sympathy goes to the passengers, crew and their families.

Good depth of focus over a great distance. Interesting peripheral surroundings (background and mountains with blue sky) and it just makes one want to keep looking.

It is sad that this airplane "flew west" on Aug. 16, I wish the best of peace to the victims and their families.
