Photo of the Week: The Norwegian from Denmark

Imagem
From las monday, a few shots of the arrival of Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 EI-BGI, from Copenhagen. This airline has one of my favourite liveries, from the ones that visit us (together with Edelweiss...)

Transavia out of the dark...

Passing by the wild life controlors From last December, a shot of Transavia France B738 F-HTVG taxiing to the gate, after a runway 05 arrival from Paris-Orly. On a dark day, the sun was on the right spot for this shot...also, looks like it's the first time I publish a pic of this registration, for the ones who care about registrations...

Sata Q400 CS-TRD on short final to runway 05, arriving from Ponta Delgada (PDL/LPPD), earlier, this week, just moments before entering the shadow...

Zé Pedro na final

Imagem
Hoje, como ia a Santa Cruz, aproveitei para fazer uns registos a um par de aviões, enquanto fazia tempo e acabei por ter sorte, já que o tempo escuro que se fazia sentir no Funchal, de manhã cedo, ainda demorou a aparecer pelos lados de Santa Cruz (sim...o Aeroporto não fica no Funchal mas sim 20Km a leste, em Santa Cruz... ;)   ) Já tinha saudades de fazer umas fotos com a bela luz da manhã e até à ultima, estava sempre a ver quando viria uma nuvem estragar o momento certo, a exemplo de outras vezes...tive sorte :) Ficam 3 registos do TAP A321NEO CS-TJL "Zé Pedro" na final curta para a 05, à chegada de Lisboa... beacon...que raridade para mim... Já sobre a cabeceira da pista...

Enter Air

Imagem
From yesterday, a few shots of Enter Air B738 SP-ENM from/to Warsaw Arriving at the gate, with Eurowings B738 D-ABMQ, from Cologne and Condor A320 D-AICD, from Frankfurt  for the push-back, the gate neighbours were already others: Easyjet A320 G-EZRX and British Airways A320 G-GATK, both from London Gatwick

Foto da semana: Spotter :)

Imagem
A foto da semana de hoje vai de dedicada à companheira de spotting do dia, enquanto se preparava para fazer este vídeo do B738 D-ABMQ da Eurowings  :)

TAp Express on 23

Imagem
The first pic of the year turned out nothing really nice to remember...despite it was the first time I got a TAP Express on runway 23... Untill a few minutes before the arrival there was this nice afternoon light and then clouds "turned the lights off"... Embaer 190LR CS-TPW, from Lisbon... I guess the best pics of the day was really this "spotter" that was also at the airport :)

Air Nostrum special Islas de Vigo

Imagem
Air Nostrum EC-MRI, a CRJ-1000 with the Islas Cies de Vigo special livery Haven't got many Air Nostrum planes last year but, still have a few unprocessed/unpublished in my archives...usually on bad weather... This week news got out announcing the Barcelona - Madeira route by Air Nostrum , for the summer so, remembered to share this one, taken on the same day of the Luftwaffe A310 Medic1 (check HERE )

Sata's Q400

Imagem
A couple of shots of Sata's usual plane around here, the Bombardier DHC-8-Q-402NG, CS-TRD. Taken on the same day of the departure of B277 N311AG (check HERE ), got completely forgoten on the archives... Start-up and taxi to Ponta Delgada (PDL)

Level at Barcelona

Imagem
From last summer, the first time I got this airline... Level, styled as LEVEL, is an airline brand under which three European airlines owned by the International Airlines Group (IAG) operate low-cost flights. Not the greatest pic but counts for the personal record... A321 OE-LCN getting ready to push-back, at Barcelona. This plane was previously operated by Niki and Air Berlin (and also a few others...) A shot taken at Madeira, with Air Berlin colors, as D-ABCN:

Unpublished Germania

Imagem
Sometimes is well worth a second look on back pics...hadn't processed nor published any shots of Germania A319 D-ASTR, and this one, back from April 2018 doesn't look bad at all... Departing from runway 23...

Photo of the Week: Luzern

Imagem
Luzern, a beautifull city, lying by Lake Lucern (or  German: Vierwaldstättersee, literally "Lake of the Four Forested Settlements", French: lac des Quatre-Cantons, Italian: lago dei Quattro Cantoni) Well...still haven't went to the airport, latelly...so, instead of another oldie for pic of the week, decided to go for a city landscape pic...after all, traveling is really one of the best things you can do and I really do miss the thrill of going to new places...

10 Years...Air Berlin by night

Imagem
Retrieving an almost 10 years old pic...from July 2010, Air Berlin D-ABKM on one of the few night-shots I made to Air Berlin ... Currently on operation with Eurowings (leased from Tuifly )

Edelweiss from 23 to Zurich

Imagem
Well...long time since I last went for some shots at the airport so, time to check the archives...lots of unpublished pics to choose from... From October 2019, a couple of shots of the departure of Edelweiss A320 HB-IJU, from runway 23, back to Zurich. Allways nice to see runway 23 in use, specially with one of my favorite liveries...

Photo of the Week: Go Australia!

On a specially dificult weekend for Australia, due to the fires raging trough the country with high temperatures and strong winds, this one is dedicated to all Australians! The first and only time a saw a Royal Australian Air Force around here (and also the first and only time I saw a C-27 Spartan around here...) A34-004 departing from runway 05, back in 2017....
