"Retirement Flight of Hekla Aurora" video by Extreme Aviation Iceland / Snorri Jónsson on YouTube - approach and landing of IcelandAir's #HeklaAurora #TFFIU Boeing 757-200 at Reykjavik's downtown airport #RKV / #BIRK at the conclusion of its farewell sightseeing tour on Sun Oct 12, 2025. I monitored the landing remotely via ADS-B - but this video is nice to see how it really looked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_5piTUqQXM #aviation #travel #avgeek

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
