Planes and stuff

Sata'a A320 CS-TKK made yesterday its last comercial flights, including one to Madeira. In a few days, will be heading to St.Athan for scrap, after 20 years of service (delivered  15/03/2005). Last time I photographed it was back in November 2024, already with the Unique livery... A few more shots of CS-TKK, including the previous livery, HERE

A brand new Ryanair Boeing 737-8MAX200 that is now based at Madeira, arriving from Lisbon...EI-ILD:

TAP A320 CS-TNU about to start the taxi to runway 05, for departure to Lisbon. Taken on the same night as French Army Pilatus Porter (check HERE )

 Uns registos de ontem, ao final da tarde, com os últimos raios de sol, relativos à chegada do YL-BGS, o 737-300 da Klasjet, que transportou o Sporting desde Beja, até à Madeira, para o jogo da I Liga Portuguesa de Futebol, com o C.D.Nacional, hoje. Com os spotters na expectativa sobre um eventual atraso, que faria com que o aparelho chegasse já depois do sol desaparecer atrás das montanhas de Gaula, desta vez tivemos sorte e acabou chegando com os últimos raios de sol... Chegada ao stand, com o também recém-chegado Ryanair EI-ILD, um Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 Curiosamente, 2 B737 que representam anos de distancia em termos de tecnologia mas também em termos de conceito de transporte aéreo... Curiosamente, no momento em que publico isto (intervalo do jogo CD Nacional - Sporting), o Nacional ganha por 1-0....a ver como envelhece este resultado, na segunda parte :)

 Another shot at Corfu.... Condor A320 D-AICP lining up at runway 34 with an amazing framing.... (not a hail to my capacities but to the general landscapes of Kanoni...) Never got this one at Madeira... (or, at least, never had processed or publish it on the blog...)

 For me, ITA Airways livery is one the amazing liveries that we don't have at Madeira... Adding to that, getting it on an A220 makes it really nice...love that plane aesthetic... I-ADVH, taxiing to the runway, in Venice / Tessera Marco Polo Airport  

 A shot on the departure of Tuifly's 50th Aniversary special livery at Madeira, yesterday. The arrival must have been interesting, with a go-around before landing on second atempt but, unfortunatelly couldn't be there for the arrival... Departing from runway 05 to Hannover (arrived from Dusseldorf):

  Had, recently, the oportunity for some shots on what must be a place on the whishlist of every spotter: Corfu (Corfu International Airport - Ioannis Kapodistrias) Wasn't a spotting trip and didn't have my usual spotting lens, just the all around 18-135, still made a few shots...indeed a real paradise with a few spots all with lovely landscapes. This was shot mid morning, at Kanoni, with the recognizable Monastery of Vlacherna and Condor (Fly Air141) A319 9A-MUC on final to runway 34. If you don't have a car, Bus 2A just finishes the route (starting at Splanada Square) by the famous Royal Grand Veranda, quite near this spot.
