Interview With Hi Fly A380 Captain Carlos Mirpuri
Not everyday the co-founder of the company who personally flies you in an A380. That happened to me on the retirement flight of Hi Fly A380. I have the good fortune of sitting behind Captain Carlos Mirpuri, who performed several fly-bys and we even drew a "heart" in the sky on the last A380 flight. Here is his aviation story.
An Interview With Model Turned Airport CEO Suzannah Harvey
When I was in England two weeks ago, I emailed Cotswold Airport with the hope to visit the Negus 747. Within minutes I received a reply from Suzannah Harvey (@Suziejet), the CEO of Cotswold Airport directly. Suzannah later turned up in her Porsche 911 Turbo and I knew she wasn't your typical Airport CEO.

Video: A Special Farewell Flight of Hi Fly A380
Hi Fly operated their last A380 flight and I was the only passenger onboard this special farewell flight. I was the only passenger invited on this special flight.
We departed Beja, Portugal for Toulouse. Immediately after takeoff, the A380 performed several fly-bys to farewell her base and the crowd. The A380 flew at very low speed and high speed fly-bys and pulled some "Gs" like performing at an air show. Then we proceed to the Atlantic Ocean to draw a "heart shape" to so thank you to the A380 before proceed to Toulouse, France where she was built 14 years ago. I toured the empty cabin on both upper deck and lower deck. The crew served a light lunch before landing. The CEO of Hi Fly, Paulo Mirpuri explained the meaning behind the special paint "Save the Coral Reef".
The weather improved upon arrival at Toulouse so we flew over the airfield to salute the A380 before a final stop landing. Farewell Hi Fly A380 "Save the Coral Reef"
