Hello,

After a long pause I finnally decided to post some pictures here, taken in September:

2009/09/08 10:58, UM874
B737-300 KD AVIA; KNI995 UUDD-UMKK

One of the last KD AVIA flights, Moscow-Kaliningrad. On the following day (2009.09.09) KD AVIA stopped all flights. It's a sad to lose such beautiful blue coloured jets. KD Avia was a very frequent visitor in my skies.

The KLM at sunset is a great photo, shows how much the sky colours can change throughtout the day, it looks almost inverted!

Yes it is very sad to see quite a few airlines stopping their services due to the recession. Here in the UK, XL airways and First Choice Airways have gone. Even British Airways is stuggling! But I think their merge with Iberia will help them recover.
