German connections :)

Missing Air Berlin? 

Well... around here it's still possible to see some airplanes with AB full livery or at least with some small memories on the german airline ;)

The Swiss Easyjet

Finally after after about a year, managed to get my first Easyjet Switzerland....

A320 HB-JXB pushing back for the departure to Basel
On the apron, a bunch of 737's...Primera YL-PSF, Tuifly D-AHFW and Enter Air SP-ESA

Yellow Airborne....

A couple more shots from the "Couves" (a spotting place off road that's quite interesting, in the afternoons).

Tuifly B738 D-AHFW taking off, from runway 05 to the Germany

Tuifly specials

Last Tuesday, from the 4 Tuifly flights of the day, 2 were carried through with special livery planes.
That, with the oportunity to get a Germania and an Air Berlin/Niki A319 (rare for me) were more than enough for a morning of spotting...
(Pics 1200pxl)

First, this week's Photo of the Week:

It was a nice morning with some nice pics but, I guess this one had the right amount of sky and mountains, just like the livery of the plane...

Anyway, for the rest of Tuifly pics...
With runway 23 in use, D-AHFR entering the apron, on taxiway "Charlie"

The other special livery was already on  the stand....
D-ATUD

The 2 bears of the day :)

After a while...D-AHFR pushing back

Meanwhile, the take-off of another Tuifly bird, the regular D-AHFW

I guess it was the first time I noticed that church over there...
Gaula's church, I guess....

 The push back for D-ATUD 

...and the take-off, for D-AHFR with Madeira mountains on the back...

The take-off from the "Gold Haribo" was also a nice one...

Tuifly Specials: Finally the ÜBÄRflieger

After a long time without going to the aiport, the oportunity to finally get the last Tuifly special livery that was missing on my collection was a good motive for a spotting trip to the airport

On my way to the airport still made a couple of long distance shots to the Cruiseship premiering, at Funchal harbour (MSC Divina) but you can check those later in my Cruiseship spotting blog: Madeira Cruiseship Spotting ;)

When I got to the airport, the star of the day had already landed

A great morning for Tuifly traffic, together with D-AHFR "ÜBÄRflieger" was D-ATUC, the "DB Air Two" and another Tuifly with the regular livery (D-AHFW)
Later in the morning we still had D-ATUD, the "Gold Haribo", but could wait for it...
A great morning full of Tuifly's special liveries....

Pushing back to runway 23

rotate....

A great take-off,..too bad the dark weather

The arrival of D-ATUC, on runway 23

A big captain... :)

Another nice take-off with the house of Sr.Manuel right in the back...

Another Easyjet...

On the day of D-AHFZ new colors premiere (Check HERE) ...

G-EZFJ landing on 05

On the return flight, taxiing to runway 05, with a nice apron on the back: D-ABBJ, from Air Berlin, D-AHFW from Tuifly and a couple of national TAP's (CS-TNM and another one...)

Mein CEWE Fotobuch by Tuifly

Hurray for Tuifly!
They have to be the most interesting airline flying to Madeira...lots of special liveries and they seem to be coming out in quite a quick way...

After some time waiting for D-AHFR (that still didn't come to Madeira...despit it looks like it's schedulled to come next week...) we managed to get Tuifly newest special livery without waiting too much...

Straight from a special livery to another (check HERE), D-AHFZ now bears the Mein CEWE Fotobuch special livery...

Yesterday it came twice to Madeira...went for the afternoon arrival

arriving under a nice afternoon light....

smoky landing, while a TAP holds off runway 05

Its airline brother DAHFW, now back to Tuifly colors taking off
(was previously with Air Berlin colors)

Pushing-back

It's not an amazing livery like other Tuifly has been carrying but in a time that planes are beeing painted with more and more white it's great to spot something as colorfull as this one...
