Photo of the Week: The return of Ukraine International Airlines

Last monday we had the return of Ukraine International Airlines, after a few year without flying to Madeira.
The flight from Kiev was carried through with UR-PSM B738, a former Norwegian Air Shuttle plane.

The departure, from runway 05


It was a windy day with a few planes diverting to Porto Santo, before arriving at Madeira but the crew managed a clean landing despite the winds on final (over the runway, it was quite steady on the runway course)

Taxiing for the return...

Flying over Porto Santo

Imagem
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... 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....
