Week Photo: The return of the MAX

Almost 2 years after the grounding of the Boeing 737MAX, Madeira got its first MAX, after the recent clearance to fly on the model.
Looks like it was the first MAX flying to Portugal after the thumbs up for the return to duty of this model...

Smartwings Boeing 737 MAX 8 OK-SWE, from Prague (PRG/LKPR).
Didn't manage to get the arrival so, some shots of the push-back and line up for the return to the Czech Republic

Starting the push-back, with TAP A321NEO LR retro CS-TJR by its side....




A couple of close-ups on the engine and winglets...

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...
