Planes and stuff

 Air Nostrum CRJ-1000, EC-MPA...a frige ...arriving from Madrid, after a couple of days of wind problemas at Madeira, in the begining of the month...

 Finally some sun for this one... Brussels Airlines brought A320 OO-SBB Tomorrowland livery for the the return to Madeira. The first flight of this return was carried by this special livery. Unfortunatelly, it was quite dark and rainy....managed some shots (HERE) but definitelyt, it shines a lot more with a sunny afternoon... Entering the stand, with Condor A320 D-AIAI from/to Dusseldorf and F-HTVV, from/to Nantes. A bit of an overview...

  First time I got an HiSky A321...YR-WOW,  A321NEO, arriving from Bucarest, arriving on a day the wind was getting more regular, after a couple of days of out of limit winds and a lot of problems at the airport. Delivered in March 2023.

  Estava esta manhã no aeroporto, dia ainda com algum ventro, depois de um par de dias de estrago na operacionalidade de FNC com muitos dos voos divergidos ou cancelados quando, me apercebo da chegada da EMIR, junto com uma ambulância dos Sapadores de Santa Cruz. Pensei logo em Evacuação Médica a partir do Porto Santo, com o C-295, que seria, sem dúvida "animada"...  Muitas vezes, com estas condições de meteo/vento, este tipo de missão seria efetuado pelo EH-101 mas, como sabemos, este cantinho tem estado algo desguarnecido, nesse aspecto... Acabei por ser surpreendido, ao reparar que vinha precisamente o EH-101 a entrar na final para a 05... Ainda pensei que, por motivo das previsões metereológicas neste fim de semana, tinham guarnecido o AM3 com o necessário para que as missões fossem cumpridas com um mínimo de tempo de alerta...ingenuidades... Num fim de semana em que as tripulações da Força Aérea foram ainda mais sobrecarregadas com a missão de transporte aéreo de emergên...

  Sata Dash 8 Q400 CS-TRG on a closer than usual stand, for its night-stop. A bit like today, the wind was quite strong (weaker than today...) so, I guess this was the reason the plane was parked closer to the terminal, on a more protected position...

  This week's photo had to be one of this beaultiful AirX Embraer ERJ-135, 9H-IMP Arrived earlier in the afternoon, from Istambul and departed this morning to Malaga.

Back to January, a couple of shots of Easyjet's A320 OE-IBS, on a "light livery", as I call it... Arriving from Berlin, on short final to runway 05. Curiously, a few months later, it was my "ride" from the same origin...

  With 3 weekly flights, since June 8th, yesterday was only the second time I made some shots on the United flight and the first with sun... Couldn't manage to get the arrival so, waited for the departure, also from runway 23. It was a bit of a late take-off for this B737 MAX8 ( N17326 ), on its way to Newark.
