Photo of the Week: My farewell to Air Berlin

Despite we will still have a few more Air Berlin flights during next week, today was most probably my last oportunity to photograph the Air Berlin before the scheduled shut as from Oct.28th 2017...

A320 D-ABFG arriving from Berlin-Tegel

A321 OE-LCC preparing to return to Munich

The stickers resume pretty much the last days of operation to Madeira...Niki callsign, Austrian registration and Niki stickers....I guess not much of Air Berlin left, just the main titles on the fuselage... 

Photo of the Week: Condor 767

As far as I can remember, last time we had a B767 here was las year, in July, with Thomson G-OBYG making a flight to return home some passengers of Black Watch cruise ship that caught fire while on it's way to Madeira (Check HERE) and the last time I got a Condor 767, I still was shooting with my Bigma (and it was some of its last shots....) check HERE

So, a Condor 767 was well worth a run to the airport, even if it was just a "touch and go" before returning to Funchal, on a busy day, even to get one with a regular livery...(Still waiting for a retro, Condor....)

 Definitely a German day at Madeira...despite the lonely Austrian, there in the middle :)
