Planes and stuff

A couple of days ago, Tuifly's B738 D-ATUH (special livery Mein CEWE) suffered a bird strike on landing which damaged the nose. The replacement part had to be brought from Hannover by an An-12, which is allways a great (and rare) sight... Inicially schedulled to arrive in the middle of the night, ended up arriving a little bit  before sunrise which allowed me to make a quick run for some shots before heading to work. An-12 UR-CGV just after arriving...(long exposure shot...tried some high ISO shots of the landing but it was too dark) Tuifly's D-ATUH on a night-stop with the damaged nose. Unfortunately couldn't stay for the nose change...

At Madeira we get a lot of MEDEVAC's performed by Portuguese Air Force, from Porto Santo but other kind of medical transportations happen also regularly... From last month, the arrival of air ambulance D-CFIV, a Learjet 35 operated by Air Alliance: that cockpit should offer a nice fighter like view :)
