It looks like IcelandAir removed Hekla Aurora #TFFIU from service early. It didn't fly at all Friday, after being pulled from Flight 665 to Portland PDX. Saturday is the only day remaining before the Sunday retirement event, a sold-out sightseeing flight originating from and returning to Reykjavik's Domestic Airport #RKV / #BIRK in downtown. (Usually the big jets operate from Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF about 50km/30mi west of the city.) https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/TFFIU/history/20251009/1455Z/EKCH/BIKF #aviation #travel #avgeek

#Avgeek alert: Icelandair flew their 757-200 special livery "Vatnajökull" from Reykjavik #KEF / #BIKF today on a ferry flight number to Kansas City #MCI / #KMCI. The airframe TF-FIR doesn't have a return flight scheduled. All of Icelandair's 757s are planned for retirement by Spring 2026. So it may have been retired or sold. But MCI isn't a boneyard. (Ping @User47 - see if you or other MCI area avgeeks can get pictures.) [confirmed retired by MBL news.] https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/TFFIR/history/20250922/0913Z/BIKF/KMCI #aviation #travel

Planespotting at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX on Friday... the next plane to land minutes later was IcelandAir's famous Hekla Aurora 757-200, arriving from Reykjavik's Keflavik Airport #KEF / #BIKF. Columbia River (Oregon/Washington border) in the background. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Planespotting at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX this evening: still photos of IcelandAir 757-200 "Hekla Aurora" arriving from Reykjavik / Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF. This one-of-a-kind livery depicting the Aurora Borealis above Icelandic volcano Hekla has been an avgeek favorite for 10 years. The plane will be retired soon - rumors say October. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Planespotting from home this evening: IcelandAir's "Vatnajökull" 757-200 (named for Iceland's largest glacier) arriving at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX from Reykjavik's Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF. All of IcelandAir's 757s are scheduled to be retired by 2026. So I've been trying to catch each of the two with special liveries when I can. Portland is the longest route currently flown by IcelandAir, and so almost always gets a 757. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Spotted from home today: Condor A330neo "Sea Blue" from Frankfurt #FRA / #EDDF and IcelandAir 757-200 "Hekla Aurora" from Reykjavik #KEF / #BIKF. Both approaching Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX. #aviation #avgeek #travel #PNW

From this afternoon's planespotting at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX: IcelandAir 757-200 takeoff on Runway 28L returning to their hub at Keflavik Airport #KEF / #BIKF in Reykjavik. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

"US Military-sponsored Airport Depot To Be Constructed At Miðnesheiði" by Reykjavik Grapevine - To increase its defense posture (following start of #UkraineWar), NATO member Iceland🇮🇸 is allowing the United States🇺🇸 to build a new air base. Construction supplies are being warehoused at Miðnesheiði adjacent to Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF (which itself was originally built as a WWII US Army Air Force base). https://grapevine.is/news/2024/12/27/u-s-military-sponsored-airport-depot-to-be-constructed-at-midnesheidi/ #military #aviation #avgeek

"Keflavik International Airport Not Affected by Volcanic Eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula" by Keflavik Int'l Airport #BIKF/#KEF - Flights at #Iceland's international airport are not affected by the eruption. It is currently not producing ash. (While travelers should not ignore the lava eruption 11km SE of the airport, North Atlantic winter weather remains the top planning issue for potential delays.) https://www.kefairport.com/news/keflavik-international-airport-not-affected-by-volcanic-eruption-on-the-reykjanes-peninsula #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology #aviation #travel #avgeek

Hekla Aurora 757 of @IcelandAir is an #avgeek favorite one-of-a-kind livery. I got pictures of it arriving this afternoon from Reykjavik #KEF / #BIKF at Portland Int'l #PDX / #KPDX. It's only been a few weeks since we saw aurora over the Columbia River, this time on a plane. #aviation #travel

"Completed building the road over the lava" by @IcelandMonitor - 3 days after Feb 8 eruption, road to Grindavik rebuilt; hot water pipeline restored heating at Njarðvík & Keflavik Int'l Airport #BIKF. https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/news/2024/02/11/completed_building_the_road_over_the_lava/ #Reykjanes #Iceland #volcano🌋 #geology #aviation #travel

#Fagradalsfjall 2023 eruption site at #LitliHrutur is 3km/2mi NE of 2021/2022 eruption. Similar distance from Reykjavik & Keflavik Int'l Airport (IATA: #KEF, ICAO: #BIKF) as before. Little to no ash expected to interfere with #aviation. #volcano🌋 #geoiogy
