C-212 x C-295

The same day I went for the Austrian Star Alliance, I also had the luck to get a couple of planes from Portuguese Air Force with a special meaning.

Wednesdays are usually C-295 day at Madeira.
This day I had the extra of getting at Madeira, not only the C-295 but also, at the same time, the AM3 C-212 that was making a Medevac from Porto Santo.
The special meaning of this: The C-212 won't be lasting too long on duty with the Portuguese Air Force, as it will be replaced by the C-295 anytime soon...

After delivering the evacuated person to the ambulance, taxiing back to runway 05...




Early take off...

These were on the "bucket" since last November.... They were taken on the day of the activation of AM3 during a couple of passes over Porto Santo, for some aerial shots of military LPPS (AM3) and...of course, the rest of the island. Indeed a fantastic oportunity given by the Air Force to be present at such an event and my baptism on the new C-295, after beeing already "baptized" on the C-130 and the C-212 (next stop...the EH-101..LOL) The island is rather small and this is pretty much everything in one shot.... Approaching the beach (with around 9Km of fantastic golden sand...) The bubbled window provided some great views and quite a diferent framing...looks like you're outside the plane...

Air Dolomiti

 Air Dolomiti Embraer 190LR I-ADJP arriving at Venice. Air Dolomiti has one of those really simple but nice liveries (personal opinion...) that fits really well on the Embraer. Curiously, the first time I made some photos on one of its planes, was also in Venice, back in 2005: I-ADLN, an ATR-72 that is now scrapped, after beeing transfered to Asian Wings Airways, in 2011...time really goes by...
