Planes and stuff

It's been quite a while since I last got a Smartwings B737 (700)...even thought that they already didn't have that model....(they have 2...) OK-SWT arriving from Prague... (also the first time I publish pic's of this registration here...) Taxiing back to runway 05, for the return flight.... Condor's A320 D-AICA and D-AICC on the ramp...

A couple of days ago, news came out on the possibility of the German Goverment to nationalise Condor Airline due to the most probably failure of the LOT/Condor deal, after the Covid crisis... Check it HERE Condor was one of the airlines I got on my last spotting day, before the quarentines and social isolations began due to the Covid-19. It was also the first time I got it with Condor full titles, after the Thomas Cook bankruptcy A320 D-AICC , returning to Germany, on a 1/30 panning, on runway 05

Despite Condor beeing a regular at Madeira with quite a few flights on several week days, only last saturday got them with the new titles, applied after the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook...and it was 2 in a row... The arrival of A321 D-ATCG... despite the all white livery, I like to see it like that, with the Condor titles... former Germania A321 D-ASTE After some waiting time, due to (probably french ATC strike) Condor A320 D-AICC started its push-back Both Condor planes taxied at the same time...like I said...2 in a row D-AICC lining up on runway 05 while D-ATCG holds at Charlie holding point

Back from August 2015, a pic I hadn't published of Condor's special livery D-AICC, landing on runway 23:

Another pic lost in the archives, from August, 27th, the same day of Condor's B767 D-ABUE (check HERE ) another Condor with a special livery: D-AICC Saxony Region... It's not top sharp but still worth sharing (I guess....) It was one of the last shots taken with my old Bigma, before beeing retired....

Back to July and to Madeira, a few shots of Condor special livery advertising the touristic region of Saxony... A320 D-AICC landing on runway 05.... and the take-off from the same runway, heading to Germany...

The lastest Condor special livery, featuring the Saxony region as a holiday destination, has been coming to Madeira since Christmas day 2014, unfortunately never had the oportunity of making a few pics of it, until last Thursday...  Not the best pics but still, here it is... D-AICC ready for push-back ready to taxi to runway 05 while another Condor A320 (D-AICG) takes off from that runway
