COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Helsinki airport says Flight 666 has arrived safety in HEL — the airport code for the Finnish capital — for the last time.

The Finnair flight took off from Copenhagen, Denmark, in the 13th hour of Friday the 13th, headed for Helsinki Vantaa airport.

All the 13s wouldn't have bothered me.. but the 666 ...that might have given me pause at the least.

Ha ha, awesome

My favorite number is 13 and the pairing of the airport call letters of HEL with flight 666 is pretty cool.

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden should have been one of the pilots!

(One of Iron Maiden's first hits was Number of the Beast, which mentions 666 prominently. And Bruce Dickinson is a certified airline pilot (on the 757/767, I don't know what equipment flight 666 was using))

Edit: Just checked FR24.com, plane was a Airbus A-319. So no Bruce for that flight)
