Planes and stuff

Yesterday decided to go for some morning shots as one of the Tuifly planes was the Blue Haribo (D-AHFM). Unfortunatelly, the weather was quite dark...anyway, at least runway 23 was in use, wich meant the possibility of getting some interesting shots on the take-offs Lucky shot with D-AHFY beacons on, right after take-off

Like I mentioned last week, finally caught the DB Regio. Despite the regular Tuifly livery beeing nothing too thrilling (although the yellow livery looks a lot better than the blue one...) still, Tuifly has been the airline that comes to Madeira with the most special liveries and great ones! So, a small selection of these liveries, that I've caught, during times... D-ATUF 's Hapag Lloyd Kreuzfahrt looks a lot like the old Hapag Lloyd livery (but it's a pretty sight indeed...) D-ATUD, the Goldbaren Haribo was also one that I was after for quite a while before getting it... Fantástic livery! D-AHFZ, a nice livery but not too outstanding...never managed to get it in sunny days... The day's I photographed it, the only sun was the one on the tail... D-AHFM, the Blue Haribo looks really nice but the Golden one beats it, no doubt.... D-ATUE the DB1 Regio, really great livery (but the 2, red, looks a lot more colorful...) Only caught it in rainy day...

Like I mentioned yesterday, on the Photo of the Week entry , will be publishing some more 5 themed entries... This one is regarding my 5 Top rated pics at Airliners.net. It's not the ones with the most views, they're just the 5 ones that have been best voted by airliner viewers... #1 - Asas de Portugal at Funchal 500 years Celebrations (2008) PoAF Alpha-Jets 15250 and 15206 on an amazing effect of smoke and condensation... Perfected rating (5) from the users and defnitely on of my favorite pics,.. #2 - Down into 05... rated 4.5625: G-EZAG , an Easyjet A319 going down into runway 05. This is really a very nice spot. Best time, on the late afternoon... Unfortunatelly only went there once, with Jorge... must try it some day again (with the A330...) #3 - Air Berlin's belly rated 4.5: Air Berlin's new livery looks very nice even from under the plane ( D-ABCD ) and with the light of that day, the pic turned out really nice! I don't usually like pics ...

D-AHFM taking off from runway 05 This pic has already a couple of years but I hadn't uploaded it anywhere. It's one of those that really makes you understand why LPMA-Madeira is sometimes referred to as the air carrier airport... The next two pics of this take off also turned out really nice. You can check it HERE and HERE Currently this plane is "wearing" the special Blue Haribo livery ..

Yesterday was Tuifly day. Still wasn't the day to get the Golden Haribo but it wasn't that bad. On a couple of quick stops at the airport, manage to get the landing of the Tuifly / Hapag-Lloyd D-AHLK and the Blue Haribo push-back for departure.... It's been a long time since I last caught these two, specially the one with the Hapag-Lloyd titles... The one with the Hapag-Lloyd titles, despite the livery almost identical to the old one, it has a few diferences, anyway, it still brings some nice memories....
