Jet2 Holidays

Back to October, to sunnier days...Jet2 Holidays G-JZHL finishing the push-back to runway 05 with Enter Air SP-ESA on the back.
Not my favorite kind of pics but still is nice to get a nice light shining on planes

Enter Air panning

Back to the beggining of October, the first Enter Air pic I publish, from this year.
SP-ESA departing from runway 05.
A 1/25 panning at late afternoon...

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

Enter(ing) the runway

Enter Air B738 SP-ENZ entering Madeira's runway 05 through taxiway "Charlie"

(Not boring) Blue

With all the standards in the TUI airlines, I usually refer to regular TUI livery as "boring blue".
Fortunately, Tuifly's liveries are everything but boring and it's allways a pleasure to see them around here.

A couple of nice Tuifly liveries...B738 D-ATUD, with the BLUE livery and D-AHLK with the Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten Livery.
On a more classic note...Enter Air B734 SP-ENI, on the back...

Enter to Paris

For today, just a shot of Enter Air's SP-ENK departing to Paris - Charles de Gaulle, from runway 05...

Enter Air

After quite some time, got an Enter Air once more:
SP-ENT arriving from Paris Charles de Gaulle, on the same day I photographed Easyjet's Amsterdam livery (G-EZDN...check HERE)

Monarch with Sharklets and more...

This morning, finally photographed my first Monarch A320 with Sharklets, after a few misses....
When I noticed, in FR24 that G-ZBAS was coming, decided to go for some shots....
Glad the weather wasn't the same as yesterday morning...

Easyjet's A319 G-EZBM, arriving from Lisbon

TAP's A319 CS-TTN, arriving from Porto

From Nante (NTE/LFRS) Transavia's B738 F-GZHD

 And finally, Monarch's A320, G-ZBAS...the weather had been nice but I allways expecting some clouds to cover the sun...fortunatelly, they were passing bellow the sun...

On final to runway 05

 The surprise of the morning...a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express with Canadian registration: C-GLUL, from HRT - Chartright Air Inc...fridge white but still, a nice catch

Was requesting clearance to depart when I was leaving the airport....

 As I was there, decided to wait for the Enter Air, it's been a while since I last photographed one of these...
After a strange and quite high approach...it wasn't a surprise to see it making a go-around....

 The second approach was rather normal....

SP-ENX, arriving from Warsaw

First Enter Air of the Year

The first Enter Air I got this year...SP-ENE, a Boeing 734, arriving from Brussels to runway 05.

Thanks to Aeroportos da Madeira (Madeira Airports), for the cooperation.

David e Golias...a primeira spotada do ano...

Dei hoje um salto rápido ao aeroporto para a primeira spotada do ano, aproveitando que tinha algum tempo e estava uma Meteo de Verão, com a chegada do Dornier 228 da Aerovip e a saída do A330 da TAP a ocorrerem com pouco intervalo.

Efectuando a rota Madeira - Porto Santo - Madeira desde o dia 1 de Janeiro, apenas tinha apanhado o Dornier 228 no dia da sua chegada à Madeira, no dia 30 de Dez.2013 (ver AQUI)

Chegada do CS-TGG da Aerovip, com um solzinho mesmo a jeito

David e Golias...com o primo do meio ali ao lado
(CS-TGG da Aerovip, CS-TOO, A330 da TAP e SP-ENI, B737 da Enter Air, que está ali desde o voo charter que efectuou a partir de Paris - Charles de Gaulle, na passada quinta-feira.)

Saída do CS-TOO no TP149 para CCS (Caracas)
Quis experimentar um spot diferente mas, a coisa não resultou assim tão bem...

Smoke on!

A couple of shots of Enter Air's SP-ENH landing at runway 05 with the smoke on

Foto da Semana: Air Nostrum

Numa paragem rápida ao final da tarde, tive oportunidade fazer umas fotos a uns aparelho que normalmente passam pouco em frente às minhas lentes, em virtude dos seus horários....

A foto da semana vai sem dúvida para esta descolagem do CRJ-1000 da Air Nostrum, que partia em direcção a Bilbao, após dia de voos para a Madeira, na rota Bilbao-Madeira-Madrid-Madeira-Bilbao.

Outro que se preparava para sair também era o Enter Air SP-ENH, um B734, aqui na corrida de descolagem da 05 para Paris, Charle de Gaulle

Mais um par de fotos do EC-LJT, o CRJ-1000 da Air Nostrum

The first Enter Air

...of the year.

For me, last Thursday was the day I got the first Enter Air of the year.

It had arrived positioned the previous day and departed early in the morning to CDG (Paris - Charles de Gaulle)Took a couple of pics from behind the airport while it was preparing to depart...

getting the push-back ready...

 and then, with runway 23 in use, I decided to go to the airport's terminal balcony.
Unfortunately it requested a runway 05 departure and was cleared to take-off before I went up...
So, decided to try something different ...

Manhã de Domingo

Finalmente, 3 semanas depois da estreia na Madeira, fui fotografar o Edelweiss, no seu voo semanal de Zurique.
Já que ia, mais valia fazer a manhã toda, já que as idas ao aeroporto não têm sido assim tantas e mais vale rentabilizar a gasolina, ainda por cima, seria uma manhã interessante, com um par de aviões que já não apanhava há imenso tempo e o 330 da TAP...

O primeiro da manhã (para mim...) foi o "French post"
Já não apanhava um avião desta companhia há já bastante tempo...

F-GFUF, B733 da Europe Airpost na final para a 05, com uma luz excelente.
As cores até são engraçadas e bem melhores que os habituais eurowhite que enchem esses céus actualmente...

G-EZBB, da Easyjet na final curta para a 05, a chegar de Lisboa

CS-TOF, o A330 da TAP, efectuando o TP148 de Caracas.
Apesar da boa visibilidade, não fez entrada directa, indo ao ABUSU iniciar a aproximação à 05

O Enter Air (SP-ENB) era outra das companhias que nunca mais tinha fotografado.
Esteve afastada durante a época de Inverno e voltou à Madeira com o início da época de Verão.
Com 2 voos semanais, ao Sábado de Paris, com passagem pelo Porto Santo e ao Domingo de manhã, de  Praga

CS-TTR

e finalmente o HB-IHX da Edelweiss a chegar de Zurique...
Infelizmente e para não variar nas companhias que estão na minha wishlist, as fotos deste não ficaram grande coisa, com ondas de calor (chegou às 12:20) e algo desfocadas...
Ainda não é desta que vai para foto da semana...

Entretanto uma última captura de uma ave a passar bem nas alturas...
Ontem tivemos por cá um 767 da Condor, que veio buscar os passageiros do 757 daquela companhia que se tinha avariado.
Não me foi possível ir a esse ontem mas, acabei apanhando um 767 da Condor hoje...lol

Enter Air by night

Since the end of May (check here) Enter Air has been making its weekly flight from Prague to Madeira (ENT801) during the night, arriving here at around 3/4 a.m.

I do love photographic plane spotting but not enought to get up for that....(at least not for a B734 that I had already caught during the day...)

Yesterday, noticed it was schedulled to arrive in the begining of the night, so decided that it would make a great oportunity for some night shots without sacrificing my "beauty sleep"....lol

went to get some shots while they were getting ready for the return flight....

Chose a 30s exposure for this one but it didn't turned out as I wanted.
They took a little bit longer than I expected to start pushing back and also, for my intentions, an arriving plane would be a better fit...

Enter Air finished at Madeira?

Today I noticed that Enter Air was no longer on today's arrivals/departures page of Madeira Airport.
I don't know if they already stoped coming to Madeira...

They started making a weekly charter flight, from Prague on April, 24th...

Only caught it twice and both times in a hurry...
You can check premirer entry HERE

The other only time I photographed it was also in a hurry...was coming in the express way when I noticed it on downwind...speeded up and took the Cargo Terminal exit, getting there just in time to stop, grab my camera in the back and shoot a couple of pics...(didn't even had the time to check the settings....)

The weather was rainy and crappy but, it didn't turned out that bad....

SP-ENA, the B737 from Enter Air over runway 05's treshold

P.S.: After this post, another spotter called my attention that today they were coming around 20.30h and as from next week they will be coming during the night....
The plane that made today's flight was SP-ENZ but I didn't go to the airport....

enter air Premiere

Today we had a premiere around here: enter air

Yesterday noticed the ENT835 flight at Madeira Airport page. Had never seen it.
According to Airframes.org it was enter air...really? something new?
Well, this morning went all over the "radars" and confirmed SP-ENC coming in...

Saw it arriving from my moms balcony. On a family Easter lunch, right after the dessert went to the airport for the departure and almost didn't get it... when I got there it was already linning up on runway 05...

Departing to Warsaw after the premiere flight (arrived from Prague)
Simple but nice livery

Only managed to get this acceptable shot which wasn't that bad, considering that I had been the previous night at the airport shooting some pics at Air Explore and the camera still had those settings, when I arrived at full speed...
(Next post will be on those Air Explore at night....)
