Brazilian Lynx




This month, within a few days, we had a couple of Lynx helicopters at Funchal, unfortunatelly, the portuguese one was more shy and was only outside on arrival (which I didn't get...)

Flying over Porto Santo

Imagem

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...

13 de outubro de 2024 O helicóptero EH-101 Merlin, da Força Aérea, em destacamento permanente na Madeira, foi ativado hoje dia 13 de outubro para uma missão de resgate de duas pessoas que se encontravam presas na praia do Seixal, Madeira. Após ter sido ativada, a tripulação de alerta da Esquadra 751 - “Pumas” no Aeródromo de Manobra N.º 3, no Porto Santo, descolou até à zona de operações pelas 09h05 desta manhã. Ao chegarem ao local, as vítimas foram recuperadas com sucesso e transportadas para o Aeroporto da Madeira, onde foram transferidas por uma ambulância que os aguardava no local para uma unidade hospitalar.  A Força Aérea reafirma uma vez mais o seu compromisso com Portugal e com os Portugueses, cobrindo todo território nacional, sempre prontos a intervir onde e quando necessário.

Condor and the fisherman...

 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...)
