Fortaleza - Pinto Martins Int'l Airport (FOR/SBFZ)
September 22, 2019
The beautiful Condor 767 pushes back for the flight back to FRA, under a great sunset light! One of my favorite Condor pics for sure!!! :D
Unfortunately, Condor is ceasing operations in Brazil, and this was their penultimate flight here in Fortaleza. Their operations at Recife have already ended, and we'll have their last flight on September 29th. Very sad! They serve Fortaleza since June 2014.
This 767, D-ABUI, is one of the few still sporting the old, blue scheme of Condor. I like it, and I also like the new one, so I really can't decide!

A giant condor , with a wingspan that can reach up to 3,5 mtrs, the largest birds of prey on earth.
This one spotted near Cuzco, Peru.
I am not a bird photographer, but to see and "shoot" this majestic birds in the wild was something else, so there it is..:-)

Got a condor working over a dead squirrel.
This is Barb. Hatch date 6/14/2018 at the World Center for Birds of Prey. Didn't catch the squirrel's name.
I had such an exhilarating experience watching the condors at Pinnacles. Here the five-year-old male 602 watches the younger bird I could never see a tag on. A lot was going on, and with the interaction I'm beginning to imagine captions. This one from the older 602 would go something like: "So, you managed to land on the topmost branch without breaking it."

California condors are the largest land birds in North America, and once ranged throughout much of the U.S. The arrival of humans at the end of the Pleistocene, and the subsequent disappearance of megafauna that condors depend on for food restricted their range considerably.
Condors continued to decline throughout the 19th and 20th centuries in response to mounting threats including poaching, poisoning (e.g. lead, DDT), collisions with power lines, habitat loss, and ingestion of trash.
To save the species from extinction, in 1987 all remaining wild condors were captured to establish a captive breeding program in the hopes that condors would one day be re-established. Captive-bred condors were first released into the wild in 1992, and in 2002 the species reproduced in the wild for the first time since 1984, although all chicks died near fledging. The first wild chick to survive past fledging hatched in 2003. All wild flocks are now nesting successfully, though many organizations are still involved in supplementing wild populations with captive bred birds. There are now approximately 300 wild condors.
Lead poisoning continues to be a major obstacle for condor recovery. Thankfully, a statewide ban of lead ammunition in CA is scheduled to go into effect this summer, hopefully curtailing this insidious hazard.

It was arriving as CFG2402 (Condor Flugdienst GmbH) from Frankfurt, Germany.
It was wearing a variant of the carrier's latest livery. This one features beige vertical stripes on the tail.

During the recent Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival, I went on the field trip to the Bitter Creek Wild Life Refuge which includes the Southern California release station for the California Condors.
An uncomfortable trip, but an amazing experience once there. We had special permission to visit the station but were not permitted to get close to the actual release pen. These are a few of the free birds already released and existing in the area.
Andean Condors are surpassed in wingspan length only by wandering albatrosses, but their wing area and body size make these vultures among the largest birds in the world.

w/o 02.01.1988 - crashed 10nm short of runway 35 on approach to Izmir (ADB) -
The flight, with the co-pilot at the controls, was cleared to the Outer Marker (CU NDB) for an ILS approach to runway 35. After passing the NDB the pilots switched to ILS and thus couldn't verify their position in the procedure turn. The aircraft was outside the 35deg sector of the ILS centreline and the crew followed the wrong side beam. The crew descended to Outer Marker altitude and the 737 struck Dümentepe Hill, 10,5nm from the airport. The aircraft disintegrated and burned.Total 16 fatalities
