Remarks: First Prop with the Lan livery, we will see a lot of this soon and Aires will be just part of the Colombian aviation history. Welcome Lan, first take-off from MDE.
Remarks: [1200px] What a surprise to see this Q400 at SKRG! Some of panning of the take-off of the first Q400 of Aires Colombia with the new LAN Colombia scheme. This one is a special aircraft for me, because my first photo on JP.net was of this one, when still was the HL-5251 and still was holding the livery of JEJU Air. Later, I shot it again, when it was recently painted with Aires scheme and changed its registration to HK-4726. I am sad, thinking that soon will be retired from service and will never see it again.
Remarks: First prop plane ever for the whole LAN Airlines and is seen here on rwy36 taking off back to Bogota. "Operado por Aires" tittles on the nose.
Remarks: LAN bought Aires in late 2010. This is the first Aires' airplane to have the livery of their new owner, in the nose it can be read "Operado por Aires" ("Operated by Aires"). Expect to see more Aires Airplanes with these colors very soon.
