Travel to Salvador Bahia with the Brazil Show

An Air France passenger plane flying from Rio to Paris made an emergency landing in northeastern Brazil Saturday night after a hoax bomb alert.

All 405 passengers and 18 crew members were safely evacuated from AF Flight 443, said Jorge Andrade, a spokesman for airport authority Infraero in the Brazilian city of Recife.

“Air France confirms that the crew was informed in-flight of a threat of a possible presence of an explosive device on board,” said an Air France spokesman.

The pilot was requested to land in Recife for an inspection, Air France said.

Solange Argenta, a spokeswoman at the Recife airport, said authorities had not found any explosives after a five-hour search, and the jet was expected to be cleared to resume its flight to Paris. The airport was closed for about 30 minutes.

Flight 443 was on the same route as an Air France airliner that crashed last June off Brazil’s northeastern coast, killing all 228 people aboard. It was the worst crash in Air France’s 75-year history.

Red Bull Air Race – Rio de Janeiro

For only the second time in in the 46 race history of Red Bull Air Race Championship has a race been cancelled due to rain. The heavy rain and winds in Rio caused the pilots to be recalled to the race airport. Pilots and a crowd of 250,000 waited but the weather conditions did not improve, so the Red Bull organizers decided to cancel the second day of the competition. The victor and runner ups were based on the first day qualifying round of flying.

Hannes Arch of Austria takes 1st place, Nigel Lamb of Great Britain came 2nd and Paul Bonhomme of Great Britain 3rd.

The next Red Bull Air Race will be in Windsor, Canada – June 5-6.
