Planes and stuff

Looks like the A300 is celebrating its 40th aniversary...so decided to dedicate this week's photo to this plane... Only managed to get a couple of these, until now. One in Madeira and another in Lanzarote (G-OJMR, from Monarch)... D-AIAX, from Hapag-Lloyd, taking off from Madeira Check another post on these planes HERE

Just yesterday, Luís Rosa made a post on Linhadafrente.net aviation fórum regarding the last flight from a Lufthansa Airbus A300 to Faro . The end is near for this bird. (at least at Lufthansa)... Checking my spots, I noticed that the A300 that made this last flight was the only A300 I had ever photographed at Madeira, then with Hapag Lloyd colors.... Besides this one, the only other A300 I ever photographed was this Monarch, last year, in Lanzarote: Quite a far photo, taken with a 18-55mm lens but for me, it's quite a nice record.
