Planes and stuff

 After last week's Condor special livery, another Condor for the Photo of the Week, this time in blue...` Fits really nice against the blue and green of Madeira. A320 D-AICI, arriving from Munich Just out of curiosity, another shot of D-AICI, more than 10 years ago, with another kind of blue livery, and already with Condor (/Thomas Cook) titles...15.Jan.2015 (and D-AIAD on the back):

 Yellow and blue, Madeira flag colors... (not exactly that blue...but, a detail...) Condor A321 D-AIAF, with D-AIAS and D-AIAD...

A couple of shots from yesterday, with Condor new livery A321 D-AIAD, arriving at Madeira's runway 23, from Leipzig...

Finally managed to make my first shots on Condor new livery... At least it doesn't go unnoticed... Around here, we call it "barraca de praia" (beach tent)  A321 D-AIAD arriving from Leipzig/Halle Engine detail and push-back and taxi...

Back to last month, from the same day of Easyjet's Berlin livery (OE-IZQ, check HERE ), the departure of Condor's A321 D-AIAD, from runway 23

For many spotters (if not all...) it's interesting to follow the life of planes...their registrations, airlines, countries, etc... Last September photographed a Thomas Cook Belgium A320 with a registration that I had never seen, despite the old colors...OO-TCX Landing on runway 05 After some checking, realised that it was indeed a common visitor around here..with another registration and titles of another Thomas Cook Group airline: D-AICI, from german Condor... Here, with german registration and Condor titles earlier in 2015 (January) starting the taxi to runway 05 whit another Condor (A321 D-AIAD) on the back, already with new colors and sharklets

For today some shots from last month, of a couple of airlines that are currently rebranding its planes... Condor (Thomas Cook group) is switching for a new livery. A321 D-AIAD starting taxi to runway 05. On the back, Transavia's PH-HSE is taking off, back to Amsterdam Transavia is also changing it's planes to a new livery. Despite there were a few of its planes coming here with the new colors, I still didn't get any so, a couple of detail shots of the "old" livery.... Great reflections while PH-HSE enters the stand

Como a notícia da semana é aparentemente a intercepção de Bombardeiros Tu-95 russos pelos F-16 da Força Aérea Portuguesa, fica um registo do A321 D-AIAD da Condor, com sharklets, em estilo intercepção aérea...em voo e " limpinho " (ok...ainda tem flaps metidos mas, façam de conta que não...)   ;) Descolagem da 23, não sou grande fã de fotos apenas contra o céu mas, foi o local possível e acabou por não ficar muito mau, mercê do facto do avião já estar mais ou menos nivelado e com os trens recolhidos... Descolagem do A320 D-AICG, ainda a recolher os trens e com uma subida mais acentuada...

Voltando às fotos que ficaram em stand-by nos últimos tempos, ficam um par de fotos do primeiro A321 da Condor que fotografei, o D-AIAD, já com nova pintura e sharklets Taxiando para a 05, num dia de forte pendor alemão (uma quinta à tarde) com os 737 da Air Berlin, D-ABME , com pintura One World e o D-ABKP, além do F-GZHI da Transavia France
