A Special Farewell Flight of Hi Fly A380 - Fly-Bys and Heart in the Sky

Hi Fly operated their last A380 flight and I was the only passenger invited onboard this special farewell flight. We departed Beja, Portugal for Toulouse. Immediately after take-off, the A380 performed several fly-bys to bid farewell to her base and the crowd. The A380 flew at very low speed along with high-speed fly-bys and pulled some "Gs" like she was performing at an air show.
Then we proceed to the Atlantic Ocean to draw a "heart shape" flight path to say thank you to the A380 before proceeding to Toulouse, France, where she was built 14 years ago. I toured the empty cabin on both the upper deck and the lower deck. The crew served a light lunch before landing. The CEO of Hi Fly, Paulo Mirpuri, explained the meaning behind the special paint "Save the Coral Reef".
The weather improved upon arrival at Toulouse, so we flew over the airfield to salute the A380 before a final stop landing. Farewell Hi Fly A380 "Save the Coral Reef".
The Hi Fly A380 was significant, according to Captain Carlos Mirpuri, due to the nature of her charter, the Hi Fly A380 flew to many airports that had never received an A380 before.
It was the first to land in Wuhan, China, following the coronavirus outbreak to repatriate European citizens. Recently, it completed a round the world humanitarian mission, which lasted four days, starting and ending in Beja, Portugal. It covered 31,047 kms in a flight time of 33 hours and 45 minutes, with stops in Tianjin and Santo Domingo.
And it was the first A380 to land in:
• Beja (23/07/2018)
• Oslo (2/08/2018)
• Reunion (25/08/2018)
• Diass (14/04/2019)
• Antananarivo (30/06/2019)
• Cairo (7/07/2019)
• Caracas (14/07/2019)
• Buenos Aires (23/07/2019)
• Dalaman (23/09/2019)
• Enfidha (24/09/2019)
• Las Palmas (27/09/2019)
• Santo Domingo (16/05/2020)

It seems to me like it was yesterday that the a380's started flying, it is a real shame to see them retire.

[@CMDRSweeper]

Nah, with the new aircraft regulations, every airline HAS to have 1 A380 and 747 in operations for every boring aircraft they have (737, 777, A330 etc) So they will be flying for quite some time, and then we will change regulations to DETOPS 5 for the twins, only 5 minute flying time from a suitable airport...

@@theworldisyours6073 Just got a Model 3 about the 9th or 10th car I have owned. But this car was probably engineered in another planet. in two years Tesla will be selling 4 million cars, and about 5 or 6 million more EV from other manufacturers. While oil prices and big oil firms will evaporate. You research is as fake as those great middle East metropolis built on shifting sand, without soul, or meaningful life of its own.

@@sat7755 Not everyone can afford to buy teslas cuz they’re not cheap. But I know Toyota would sell a lot. But after 10 years 90% of the cars would most likely be hybrid

@@theworldisyours6073 Hybrids are the most complex and costly contraptions devised by the traditional car makers to keep the ICE alive, because of their higher gas mileage. But the most efficient and clean way to go is pure electric. I am not here to educate you but try to find out about what is really going on, and once you get your facts straits contact me then. So we will be able to carry an educated conversation forward.

Thank you for this emotional flight report. This day, sky was this blue clear, such usual here in Portugal, I was walking Avenida Luisa Todi, in Setúbal when I noticed a four engines aircraft over the city. I checked FlightRadar as soon as I saw it. This video tells the rest of the story, I’m really happy to think I almost met you Sam! I miss so much flying in a A380, it’s a really amazing aircraft. Thank you Sam for being here and keeping us updated as you are doing, while we currently have very few opportunities to fly.
