C-27J Royal Australian Air Force

Can't remember seeing an Australian plane around here...to add that, we also never had an Alenia C-27J visit so, all together you definitely get the most interesting traffic of the year so far, with the visit of Royal Australian Air Force C-27J A34-004, operated by 35 Sqn. on a technical stop.

Arrived from Cabo Verde and after a technical stop, was starting engines for the departure to the next stop...

the other competitor for the replacement of the Portuguese C-212 Aviocar, lost to C-295...don't know if the C-295 is better but at least it's better looking... :)

Someone at the window seat :)

take-off run from runway 05

...and the rotation right on the spot :)


heading to Palma de Maiorca...

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... Vila Baleira Hotel and Aparthotel Luamar... Overview of the Colombo's Resort and Pestana Hotel, backed by Ana Ferreira's Peak. On top right, the Golf. Pestana Hotel....

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...
