After the bankruptcy of Estonian the government of Estonia formed a company that in cooperation
with
Adria took over the network after Estonian. As Adria doesn't have the
resources to do it with their own metal they wet-leased different
machines (an BAe ATP from Nextjet, a couple Fokker 100s and Embraer 145s
for different routes from different airlines). So I decided to go and
try catch the ATP on a international sector. Combining it with some
sightseeing in Tallinn and a short stay in Stockholm throughout the
weekend sounded like a good plan. It later expanded with a couple of
flights on a smaller BAe, the J32. The trip started on Friday and ended
after around 48 hours with a flight back to WAW from ARN.

After the morning flight with Avies on the J32 I had plenty of time to my next flight. Lunch, a little shopping and one more, or two, tours around the terminal. But how much time may that kill? Not enough. So, after the hours have passed we finally got to board the bus that would take us to the plane. Seeing the bus stop beside the ATP ended with a smile on my face. As I was sitted in one of the first rows I was in no rush to board, instead I took the time to sooth my eyes with the view. Was supposed to sit in row 4, but as the 3 rows ahead were empty I got permission from the purser to move one ahead. So, we finally fired-up our engines, pushed back and taxied to the active runway. Quick departure and into the clouds we go.
The flight itself is smooth, the weather outside ain't great, the crew is very understanding. Just after almost an hour we landed in Stockholm. Here the weather wasn't great either, but at least it didn't rain. For the moment at least...
