Ainda não tinha voltado a fotografar o novo meio aéreo da Proteção Civil da Madeira, após as primeiras fotos, quando se iniciava o processo de montagem do helicóptero por cá (ver AQUI ), depois do transporte por via marítima, pelo que aproveitei hoje para uns cliques rápidos, já com os stickers referentes à operação por cá, que se estenderam ao Bell 412 EC-MEI, com a alteração do callsign de H35 para Lauros 1.

Approaching the beach (with around 9Km of fantastic golden sand...) The bubbled window provided some great views and quite a diferent framing...looks like you're outside the plane... Vila Baleira Hotel and Aparthotel Luamar... Overview of the Colombo's Resort and Pestana Hotel, backed by Ana Ferreira's Peak. On top right, the Golf. Pestana Hotel....
