Foto da Semana: TAP Air Portugal

Numa altura em que a companhia de bandeira Portuguesa volta à designação TAP Air Portugal, fica um registo com cheirinho nostálgico, já com 13 anos, obtida no primeiro ano que me comecei a dedicar ao spotting fotográfico mais a sério...

A320 CS-TNL à chegada ao stand

TAP e Costa...

De regresso ao Verão (a Junho), um par de fotos que ainda não tinha tratado/publicado, da chegada do A320 da TAP, CS-TNL (Vitorino Nemésio), com um navio de cruzeiro da Costa lá ao fundo, saído do Funchal... (Costa Mágica?)

Nocturna...

Por hoje fica um registo nocturno do A320 da TAP CS-TNL, preparando-se para taxiar para a 05, após o push-back.

Numa altura em que estão efectuando alterações na varanda pública do Aeroporto da Madeira que provavelmente deixarão de permitir este tipo de fotos (e não só...), resta esperar que o resultado final dessas obras não seja tão mau como parece, com resultados nefastos para um dos ex-libris do Aeroporto da Madeira ....

Nova foto da Semana: TAP's...

A foto da semana, vai novamente dedicada aos TAP. Neste caso, umas que ainda não tinha tratado, de Março do ano passado.

Um panning ao A321 da TAP, CS-TJE

Curiosamente, neste dia apanhei igualmente o CS-TNL... :)

Week Photo: Santa, by Finnair

Beeing an holliday, today had finally the the oportunity of getting Finnair Christmas special livery.

Finnair's A321 with sharklets OH-LZL arriving from Helsinki with Santa Claus Official Airline livery.

Some of the end of the afternoon traffic, with SAS's LN-RNU on downwind (check the sky) 

Take off back to Helsinki after a big rain and with the light almost gone due to the clouds...

27.Apr.09 - Axis by Neos and others

On this morning, the highlights were the two Axis flights and the Viking. Still this wasn't yet the day that we had Axis new livery around here. Instead I got surprised with a NEOS making the second Axis flight.
Also, another point of interest was the Viking that have been bringing diferent registrations on every week since it restarted flying to Madeira.

This Thomson had the "fly.com" from the titles gone (begining of the change to Thomson Airways?)



Weather didn't help, as it was too unstable with areas with sun and others with no sun...I don't know about really skilled photographers but, for me its gets real hard for getting good results with that kind of changes...specially because when photographing a plane coming real fast on final you don't get much time for changing settings...

I guess the second shot of this Thomson was the best of the day for me. It turned out really sharp and clear with the sun on the right place and the heat from the jetblast give a really nice effect on the down back of the plane.

Last pic of the day, for me. The arrival of Capt. J.Costa

With the father at the Office?

26.Abril.2009, a few minutes after midnight, made a quick stop at the airport for a few quick nightshots of the traffic and this one really called my attention.
On CS-TNL, which had just arrived, while the crew finished their procedures, a couple of kids (a boy and a girl) were completly and peacefully asleep...
Later on they abandoned the plane with the crew. Sun and daughter of the captain on a "visit" to its "office"? :))
Anyway, it must have been a really smooth landing as they kept sleeping that peacefully...
