Planes and stuff

Last Sep.29th 2016 was a day of small firsts... After getting, for the first time, EI-STA with the new ASL livery (check HERE ), and TAP's CS-TTU with the airline's 70th aniversary sticker (check HERE ), got Condor's B753 D-ABOC with the Hannover Airport sticker, also for the first time... Didn't manage to get the arrival so, a few pics of the departure.... taxiiing to runway 05 with TAP's A319 and A320 CS-TNN and CS-TTU and Tuifly's B738 D-ATUE taxiway Charlie

Finalmente, mais de um ano depois, apanhei um avião que ostenta (muito timidamente....) a pintura comemorativa dos 70 anos da TAP (ou pelo menos, apanhei de forma visível.....) Após tanto tempo, e mesmo depois de algumas explicações completamente ilógicas, continuo sem perceber qual foi a ideia de meter aquilo num sítio em que praticamente ninguém vê....(nem eu percebo, nem muita gente, a avaliar pela generalidade das reacções....deve ser mesmo algo apenas de percepção clara para alguns pouco "iluminados".....) Enfim...o que interessa, para os anais da História pessoal do spotting é que já cá canta, finalmente.... CS-TTU, na final curtíssima para a 05....

Por hoje ficam uns registos da saída do TP1686 ontem, operado pelo A320 CS-TNN. Espero que a viagem tenha sido agradável :) CSTNN iniciando o push-back, com o "especial 70 Anos" CS-TTU ao lado (nota-se logo... :P ) e o B733 EI-STA, da ASL, vindo de Dublin, tanto quanto sei, pela primeira vez a esta hora.... Alinhado na 05 Descolagem....

Well...better late than never... Like someone joked about, what better choice for Photo of the Week than this Belavia landing on the beautifull late afternoon light? Despite some of the guys saying that this one was already here, it was my first Belavia. Came in August to Madeira, from Belarus with some team to play with local team CD Nacional, for the UEFA competitions. Hurrey to soccer! :) arrived at runway 05 with the very last sun, after a techinal stop at Porto (LPPR/OPO) EW-250PA On the back, CS-TTU, one of the last A319 added to TAP fleet A nice apron with AeroVip's Do.228 CS-AYT, TAP's A319 CS-TTU, special Tuifly Kreuzflug D-AHLK and Jet2's G-CELC all in all, a nice catch with the extra that B735 arent's that usual around here...

Back to Madeira, from the same day of the Belavia (more on that later...) the light was very nice and this bird (D-AHKLK, from Tuifly, with the Kreuzflug livery) is allways a good catch.. arriving from Basel arriving to the stand with TAP's A319 CS-TTU (one the the "new" A319, received by TAP one month before) and CS-TTJ CS-TTU was previously VT-SCD, from Air India
