Photo of the Week: United first flight

junho 08, 2025

United Airlines made its first flight to Madeira today. B737 MAX8 N17272 crossed the Atlantic during the night, after taking off from New York EWR - Newark around 21:50 (local time) and arriving at Madeira the next morning, around 09:11 (local time). Despite the nice weather at Funchal, at the airport, in Santa Cruz, was dark and there was a barrier of Easyjet planes blocking the landing view...spotter's life... Still managed some bit of sun in the aircraft during the taxi... Anyway...still no welcoming bath around here... The flights will be carried on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays until September.

Photo of the Week: French C

maio 31, 2025

Despite the light and shots are definitely not the best, the arrival of Armée de l'Air C-130 61-PO is well worth the photo of the week. Pretty sure it's the first french C-130 I get and with the extra of beeing a special livery one...too bad about the time of the day and light... Special livery for the 10,000 flight hours of the Franco-German Binational Air Transport Squadron (BATS). I guess its arrival is related to the presence of a French navy training Squad at Funchal (check HERE )
