Brazilian Air Force planes registered 2592, 2591, 2590 and 2101 in Athens

In the past 3 days there had been a lot of Brazilian Air Force movements in the airport of Athens, probably due to the visit of the President of Brazil to Greece. The President of Brazil arrived today on an Airbus A319 of the Brazilian Air Force, registered FAB2101. The flight BSR01 from NAT (Natal, Brazil) landed at 16:30L on runway 21R and taxied to the VIP stand for the officials to disembark, before being towed to stand A39 of the satellite terminal.
The past three days 2 Embraer VC-2s (military version of the ERJ-190s) arrived in Athens. One of those departed to DKR (Dakar, Senegal) and the other one remains parked in Athens since its arrival. Those were the FAB2590 and FAB2591.
In addition to those two, a third one arrived today at 19:05 from DKR. This was registered FAB2592. Its a very new plane that the Brazilian Air Force has leased from Embraer in order to be used as a reserve because the two VC-2s will be temporarily out of service soon due to cabin interior modifications. Its previous registration was PT-SDD, its c/n is 19000177 and is a ERJ-190BJ Lineage 1000.

Forca Aerea Brasileira Boeing VC-96 (737-2N3/Adv) registered 2115 made a fuel stop in Athens this evening on it's way from LPA (Gran Canaria, Spain) to DOH (Doha, Qatar). The flight arrived as BRS2115 at 18:00L and departed around 19:45L. It is the second time in the last few days that a VC-96 of FAB makes a fuel stop in Athens. On 26/3 the other VC-96 (2116) came to ATH, following the opposite route. (See post) The president of Brasilia is visiting Doha in order to attend the South American-Arab Summit which is taking place there. It is certain that these flights have something to do with it (probably carrying officials or other personnel).
