Images taken on board the Azores Airlines plane that transported reinforcements from the Azores to fight the fires in Madeira were released on Facebook.
“One of those sleepless nights. But I felt that the mission was accomplished,” wrote Cláudio Alves, a member of the crew, reporting on the transportation of “several fire brigades from the Azores to help fight the flames in Madeira.”
The images, explained the Funchal native, were “captured during the approach and after takeoff”.
