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
