Spanair down....

Looks like Spanair is another airline that didn't manage to survive these terrible times...
Just yesterday, news were refering the high unemployement rates in Spain and this sure makes those numbers quite worse...

EC-GAT, one of the MD-83's taxiing to the runway in Lanzarote (ACE/GCRR)

The only time I flew with Spanair was last year, from Lisbon (LPPT) to Menorca (LEMH) and back.
Despite their MD's and Boeing 717, I flew on a more "regular" A320...

Entering EC-ILH, back to Lisbon, check some more pics HERE

New Photo of the Week - MD-80

Once again, none of my late pics deserved the "Photo of the Week" (been geeting some really crappy pics lately...) so, went some older pics and decided for this one....

After all, I have very few MD's on my portfolio and a take-off like this is allways worth remembering...

By the way...curious about its location now? It's been getting quite a life since '87..

Blue Line

Looks like Blue Line was another airline that didn't manage to survive these "cloudy" days....
They weren't a regular airline around here but still managed to get some shots of it during the years....

Check HERE for a few more pics....

The best of lucks for all the employees on the next stage.....
