to answer your question to the best of my ability, it's water firstly and secondly, I've seen a few airlines do this when they unveil either a new livery or a new aircraft in their fleet even sometimes at the launch of a new airline.
The more likely explanation for the captain's good English is him being one of the Canadians chaps sent to MVD for training on these CRJs. I was surprised to see the FO release the thrust levers when rotating, is this standard procedure?
@TomcatMVD Some companies have standard operating procedures stating that thrust levers shall be released when passing V1. So no accidental braking should be commenced after V1.
A lot of airlines also do that for a captain or FO that is on their last flight before retirement. Kind of like a sign of respect and gratitude for their service.
Great vid,just out of curiosity,Just Planes would you all be doing anymore Airlines from the Caribbean? Seeing that you did BWIA already,would you try to do another like Air Jamaica or LIAT or even the new Caribbean Airlines?
Yes, it would be shame if this little airline were lost forever. Fond memories I have from the times when I lived in Montevideo,Uruguay. Now there is BQB and also the other operators where quick to fill the gap. But who knows? It seems that ex Pluna employees are trying to build up a successor under the Name of Coopluna. Ojalá y esto con más exito que los antecesores.
I've noticed on some videos whenever there's gusty winds, that whoever is landing the plane is constantly fighting with the plane to stay straight, if you notice the captain is coming in and he's just going from left to right with that yoke, yet the plane to me seems to stay in the same place. Is this only me or what's going on?
why was i under the impression that "English" is the international Aviation/ATC language. Pilots are speaking English, but i'm hearing ATC doing a lot of Portuguese?
It's not Portuguese, It's Spanish. The ATC speaks Spanish in Aeroparque (ICAO:SABE/IATA:AEP) because its a regional airport and there is no need to speak English. Besides, charts indicate that in this Airport, ATC speaks Spanish. But if necessary, they understand and speak English very good. The pilots speak in English on the airplane most of the times because the manuals and checklists are written in English
they where flying the plane in from canada so it was a new plane for the airline..they do the water gun spray in special ocassion..and when theres a fire..lol =)
I love the livery. It's artistic and beautiful!
I am now flying this exact aircraft at my current airline, pretty cool to see this!

Not the ATC speaks in Spanish because it is Uruguay.

Nice-that captain was pretty cool...
great video! may i ask where the pilots are from? they spoke perfect english like an american!
Pluna Airlines it's from Uruguay. South America.
I've noticed on some videos whenever there's gusty winds, that whoever is landing the plane is constantly fighting with the plane to stay straight, if you notice the captain is coming in and he's just going from left to right with that yoke, yet the plane to me seems to stay in the same place.
Is this only me or what's going on?
why does it have the same autopilot disconnect of the Airbus A318-A380?
@DJMilo101 plane delivery from bombardier factory in canada, i'm not that surprised
why was i under the impression that "English" is the international Aviation/ATC language. Pilots are speaking English, but i'm hearing ATC doing a lot of Portuguese?

nice a baptism of a new aircraft hehe
to DJmilo: I don't think is a American pilot, for sure is a trainer pilot from Bombardier, I'm personal think is a Canidian.
Nice
Or when they make its first flight.
Also when it arrives at an airport for the firt time.
