Planes and stuff

Binter ATR-72 EC-MYT (first time I publish this registration....not sure if it's the first time I got it...) on the usual spot for the night-stop, with TAP A320NEO CS-TVC arriving from Lisbon, in the back...

 Apesar de já ser "da casa", um registo da chegada do primeiro voo do dia, do Porto Santo para a Madeira, a chegar à 05 de FNC, ao início da manhã, do ATR-72 EC-NGF, da Binter, para foto da semana, até porque ainda não tinha publicado nenhuma foto com este registo

Ainda hoje falava com um amigo acerca de um voo há uns anos num Binter mais antigo... Fica o registo que vale pela pintura e modelo mais antigo... EC-IPJ, ATR-72-202, em Lanzarote (ACE/GCRR), em finais de Julho de 2008...

Binter ATR-72 EC-MJG parked for the night, with TAP Express Embraer 195LR CS-TAW taxiing, in the back, to runway 05, for the return to Lisbon.

From the same night of Peter Pan (check HERE ), Binter starting-up for the the night flight to Porto Santo. First time I publish this registration...

 A few shots of the arrival of Binter ATR-72 EC-NSG to runway 23

Quick stop last saturday, by the end of the afternoon...rainy dark weather with the only plane getting ready to depart to Porto Santo... Decided to try some prop blur / beacon shots and a panning on departure.... This was the only aceptable pic, with a prop blur and beacons with reflection on the tarmac... Binter ATR-72 EC-NSG lining up for the departure to Porto Santo...

 Also from the first spotting of the year, Binter ATR-72 EC-NSG arriving at Madeira, from TFN/GCXO - Tenerife North with a great afternoon light... Also, the first time I publish a pic of this registration, an 8 month plane, with first flight made in March 2022

A couple of shots from this morning, on the departure of Binter ATR-72 EC-NQR, for the first flight of the day between Madeira and Porto Santo. Been wanting to try these night-shots with Binter for quite a while.... Also, the first night-shots with the Canon 18-135...not bad... A 98mm close-up on the prop blur...they were quite in a hurry for departure..... just before power push-back....

 Usually make the long exposures shots during the night...today, with dark weather and no special traffic, played around a little bit with ND Filters and a tripod for some day long-exposures... Binter ATR-72 EC-LAD, with TAP A321NEO CS-TJJ passing, on the back... And, with Luxair's B737 LX-LGQ

From the same night of Smartwings B737-8 MAX (check HERE ), "local" Binter ATR-72 EC-KYI on its night-stop, with Smartwings OK-SWM landing on the back...

 From last Tuesday, while waiting for the departure of Portuguese Air Force EH-101 19602 (check HERE), made a few shots on the other traffic.... Binter ATR-72 EC-KSG "Malvasia" departing from runway 23 to Porto Santo (PXO/LPPS), on the last flight of the day...

 From the same day of the TAP retro (check HERE ), a couple of shots of Binter ATR-72 EC-KSG arriving from Porto Santo:

Binter ATR-72 EC-KGJ "Madeira", on final to Madeira's runway 05, on the first flight of the day from Porto Santo (PXO/LPMA):

Penso que a foto da semana dá uma imagem bastante aproximada do aeroporto actualmente.... Ao final da tarde de ontem  tínhamos 4 aparelhos de linha aérea na placa...3 TAP's armazenados e o ATR-72 da Binter, a preparar-se para sair para o Porto Santo...  Entretanto, devido ao vento, o Binter acabaria por cancelar a saída, ficando igualmente "grounded"... Binter ATR-72 EC-LAD e TAP A320 CS-TNK Mais ao fundo da placa, encontram-se os A321NEO LR CS-TXA e CS-TXE, que chegaram para armazenamento nos últimos dias, trocando com os aparelhos mais antigos que lá se encontravam...os A320 CS-TNN e CS-TNM, entretanto voados para o continente. Acaba por ser curioso ter estes 2 lado a lado, sendo notórias as diferenças na pintura... O CS-TXA foi entregue em Abril 2019 (primeiro LR entregue à TAP) e o CS-TXE em Julho 2020 (o penúltimo)
