Hello Alice (and all the others...)

Yesterday finally got Hello in Airbus A320...

Usually comes right after lunch but yesterday, due to the ATC strike, it came later on the afternoon...and so did a few more...

The good thing about this strike, for the spotters is that when the planes come, they come a few in a row...
Too bad the weather was quite crappy...

HB-JIW

Unexpected for me was Alice in Wonderland, from Thomas Cook Belgium (OO-TCN)

Smoke on for D-ABOI...get them, before they're all (B753) replaced by the Airbus A321...

CS-TNV from TAP, the homeland's airline

Another unexpected arrival... CS-DDV

Good-bye to the Hello...now using runway 23

A couple of specials on the run

Yesterday, went to Santa Cruz before lunch.
Wasn't going for the spotting but like allways, when going near the airport, took my camera with me...

As I was leaving Funchal, another spotter had already told me that Thomas Cook Belgium OO-TCN with Alice in Wonderland special livery had landed.

Had been chasing this one for a long time...
Not the kind of pic suitable for Airliners or Jetphotos but couldn't wait for the departure...
Still, a great catch for the personal record.

When I was returning to Funchal, another great surprise: LN-NOL, the 6000th 737 with special markings on the tail.
Another great catch!
Once more couldn't wait for the departure, so just for the blog and personal records.

HB-JGL (Gulfstream G200), from TAG Aviation was also departing
