Week Photo: 20 Years of PGA

Imagem
 20 Years ago (Sep.12th 2005), PGA - Portugália made its first flight to Madeira. Quite a sight...Fokker 100 were rare around here (and beside PGA, continued to be...) and back then, the Airport and Madeira still welcomed new airlines/routes with a salute bath from the fire department...quite a sight and definitely a lot more eye catching than whatever they do now.... CS-TPE had the honour of beeing the first... Aviation has definitely changed (don't know if it has really evolved) and I hope my photographs have evolved in quality but still, moments like these are one of the reasons that made me want to photograph, instead of just watch planes... Now PGA has been rebranded as TAP Express, operating the Embraer 190/5...still, it is just me or the Fokker 100 were quite more confortable? More PGA photos, HERE More CS-TPE photos, HERE

Tecnam do ACM

Imagem
Têm sido poucas as fotos que tenho feito ao pequno Tecnam P2002 do Aeroclube da Madeira. Ficam alguns registos da chegada desse aparelho, no dia em que fiz as primeiras fotos ao retro da Transavia ( AQUI ), tendo ficado parqueado num stand pouco habitual... EC-MQY a chegar ao stand... Umas espreitadelas para o motor.... e a chegada do voo diário de carga, de Lisboa, com o EC-LYJ, um registo que ainda não tinha fotografado... Curiosamente 2 registos espanhóis e uma prova de que o tamanho é relativo...o ATR parece enorme, perto do Tecnam :)

Austrian at Corfu

Imagem
Curiously, still haven photographed any of the Austrian visitors at Madeira this year but, couldn't miss the oportunity of some shots on Austrian A320 OE-LZC, while linning up on the beautiful Corfu's runway 34... Also...firs time I photograph this plane, which started flying to Avianca in 2012 and came to Austrian in 2020.

Last light Privilege

Imagem
Back to August... After some beach, a couple of shots of Privilege A321 EC-OCT lining up on runway 05, with the last rays of sun, before it went behind the mountains... Despite coming to Madeira once in a while, it's not that common.

Photo of the Week: Transavia retro

Imagem
Finally some shots on the Transavia retro livery. It already came a few times to Madeira but yesterday was the first time I finally managed to get it. Also my first Transavia A321...(once again, a few already came to Madeira) PH-YHD departing from runway 23, back to Amsterdam The arrival, was also on runway 23 with a nice light but the apron was full of planes... And off it goes, back to AMS with Madeira mountains in the back... It was a nice morning, with a few catches that are regular here but I had never got (or hadn't got this year, like the Iberia)....
