Planes and stuff

It was quite a while since I last went for some afternoon spotting. Didn't stay as long as I had planned but still it was enough to get some of the most importante afternoon landings... D-AICF, one of the 3 Condors of the day... (and still no retro colors around here....Come on Condor! Where's D-AICA?) It was only when I was processing the pics, in the computer , that I noticed that this Air Méditerranée was in fact an Hermes Airlines B735 A close-up on home colors for this Photo of the Week (CS-TTM a TAP A319) Time to get these ones before Condor get them out of the company D-ABOE just moments from of touching down on 05 with a nice wingflex F-GZHC, from Transavia France, arriving from Paris-Orly (via Porto) Allways nice to see a colorfull apron, despite the sun trying to leave.. On the apron yet another A320 that I didn't get on the landing: Air Berlin's (Belair) HB-IOW, wich had arrived from Zurich

On this Monday wasn't feeling much in the mood for going to the airport but then I noticed that one of the Thomson flights from Manchester was beeing made by G-OOBA, which had changed very recently its colors from the First Choice livery for the Thomson and also had gained winglets. The Cimber Sterling flight was also beeing made by the OY-MRG, with new livery, so decided to go to the airport. Despite beeing sunny at Funchal, the weather at Santa Cruz was quite crappy, cloudy and with light rain... Anyway, the pics... This Thomson, like I said, was the star of the morning but it still is a bit disapointing, until now I was expecting that Thomson Airways got some really nice and different livery but looks like it's confirmed they'll keep TUI's "boring blue"... The winglets look real nice on the plane, though... and the colors are quite darker than the ones in use by the "old" planes. This was the other nice catch of the day. Love this livery,...
