Photo of the Week: Christmas in February

Finally, after more than 2 months and way passed Christmas, managed to get Finnair's special reindeer livery... was pretty sure I wouldn't get it...
Thank you Finnair for keeping the spirit up in the air ;)

With a landing with not sun on the side to highlight the reindeer, waited for the take-off and it payed well, on some nice sunny shots....

Photo of the Week: A321 OH-LZL departing back to Helsinki, from runway 23, with another rarity on the apron, a private Embraer 190 (A6-HHS, from Falcon Aviation, getting ready to depart)

Taxi to runway 23

despite the plants and fence, still a nice rotation on a good spot...

Waiting for Christmas...

Finnally, last monday had the oportunity to get Finnair's Christmas livery...A321 OH-LZL with the reindeer....
Altough I didn't know if by the end of February, the Christmas stickers would still be on the plane....Anyway, had been quite a long time since I last had photographed a Finnair...would be worth it anyway, specially with runway 23 in use....

On final to runway 23

Unfortunatelly as it touched down, the runway was quite dark, with no sun at all....it was a bitch..the side shots where we could most see the stickers were quite dull....

Fortunatelly, for the take-off shots, the sun wasn't shy at all and was well worth the wait....more on those later....probably for the next photo of the week...

New Photo of the Week: spirit from Christmas past... :)

Looks like this year we won't be having any Christmas livery around here ....so, I'll retrieve one from last year...Finnair's A321 OH-LZL with Santa Claus livery.
Merry Christmas!

Rescued from forgotten bytes... :)

Was cleaning up my cards when I noticed this couple of shots (among other) that I hadn't copied to my computer...
Back to December 2014, with Finnair's Santa Claus...
