N765TA Delivery flight BFI-IAH - TCA2050 - 04-10-2016
We got a call from the office late last night that the transformation of 9Y-LGW into the newest Tradewind Alaska fleet additon; N765TA was ready for pickup at the Boeing Ramp.
So we jumpseated to SEA and now we've ferried this adorable and 'personal' version of the 767-300ER to IAH.
It will mainly be used on the Havana Lines from IAH and DEN.
I'm very grateful to Jack for this wonderful repaint that has a very personal touch in the way that the vertical stabilizer art, is graffiti art that I photographed myself during our visit in Habana in februari this year, along with a deeper meaning to it...
We named the aircraft in respect of one of the greatest bands in Cuba with worldwide recognition in the Salsa scene; Havana D'Primera under the lead of Alexander Abreu.
Last februari we had a chance to attend a dance-soirée of this band in the Casa de la Musica Centro Habana and they left a very strong impression... a great experience.
