Newark (EWR), Sao Paulo (GRU), and Salvador (SSA) Pictures

I left last Thursday night for a 5 day trip to Salvador, Brazil located in Northern Brazil. The purpose of the trip was due to a conference my mother had to attend there and I was lucky enough to tag along. We flew Continental down on a 767-200 and then transfered to GOL but ended up missing our connection so we had a 6 hour-layover at GRU and I ended up doing some spotting but the weather was not great so I neglect to post those shots. Once in Salvador we met up with Josh May who was joining us on the trip. On Sunday we headed out to the Salvador Airport for some local Brazilian spotting and found a great spot at the airport. We waited around till night to get a night shot of the TAP A330-200 but she did not hold. The next day we decided on revenge and headed out to the airport only to catch 3 beauties at night. The GRU pics were taken yesterday during our layover in Sao Paulo.

Please enjoy and feedback is welcome!

Obrigado!

Great shots!!
I'm glad you had a good trip!

That Beta Cargo 707 is to die for, and so are most of the other goodies you bagged on this trip Gordon! Great shots, and it sounds like you guys had a great time! :D

Greets,

Gordon, sweet shots man. Lots of 340's and the 707 is sweet! Hope you had a great time!

really good shots, nice to see a lot on heavy traffic there

As Gordon said, we had a great time. Salvador was as exciting as I thought it would be...such an awesome place! I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to join Gordon and his mom. :D

My routing was LAX-MIA-GRU-SSA, and return, SSA-GRU-DFW-LAX. For anyone wondering, GOL is a great airline!! Here are a couple that I shot...

Ahhh...nostalgia already.....


ciao ciao,

Josh May

WOW is right!

Josh, Gordon - you cleaned up. Perfect subjects and really killer light.

Tom

Good shots Gordo, and same to you Josh...

Hope to see a trip report soon Gordo.

Nice variety guys, glad you enjoyed your had a good trip.

Those are all great shots!! Nice trip it seems!

Outstanding work guys! A great variety of equipment, and some terrific shots!

Nice work guys! Sounds like you had a great trip.

Some good stuff you guys got!

Great shots.
I think the 727 and 707 are best.
You guys got to use a tripod too at dusk/night???

Fantastic shots! Gordon, your photos get better weekly :)

Ummmm Josh, you went against your word. There are narrow bodies on your flash card. :p

Hah! Not anymore...I've re-formatted the card :P

The narrowbodies I shot were worth it...there's something I like in each one of them. Plus, first shot of Air Brasil cargo ever, surprisingly.

Genius signature quote btw, i'm all for it :lol:

Today was the first day in a long time that I actually had nothing that I HAD to do so I spent a better half of the evening re-editing some pics:
