Planes and stuff

Always nice to revive some "old" colors...Transavia France B738 F-GZHB taxiing to the gate, still with the previous livery

Also from June, 20th, Transavia B738 F-GZHB still with the previous livery, taking off from runway 05, back to France.

Back to runway 23 pics, another take-off from the same day of the British Airways welcoming bath (check HERE ) F-GZHB pushing back to runway 23 Take-off, on the right spot... Monarch's A321 G-OZBZ getting ready to return to London - Gatwick

Today, Transavia's flight from Amsterdam was carried through by something a little bit different: PH-HZA that's still "wearing" an hybrid livery of the Kulula Airlines. It fits really nice on the Transavia livery! They should think of updating its livery with some of this green. Unfortunately, while I was at the airport, this would have to be the only plane landing while the sun was behind clouds....crap!! After the landing, went to the airport's balcony... PH-HZA in the apron with its "French brother", Transavia France F-GZHB landing in the back, from Lyon / Porto Unfortunately, looks like there are plans for closing this amazing balcony, with the remodeling of the terminal that it's schedulled to start in 2015..... It's one of Madeira's Ex-Libris...hope they reconsider this... Pushing-back to runway 05

Last Monday morning (11th May) we had something new around here: first time Travel Service flew to Madeira with an A32o (until the day before, I didn't even knew they had those planes...) Ended up beeing a very nice day, as in the afternoon there was also some very interesting traffic...but, I'll leave the afternoon traffic for the next post....let's talk about the morning... Usually I don't find the monday morning traffic to interesting...it's mainly First Choice/Thomsons, TAP, Easyjet and Transavia (with no intentions on bringing the PH-XRA special livery...) This monday we had also a couple of Travel Services and like I said, one was an A320, reason enough for a ride to the airport: The other Travel Service of the day, on final to runway 05, with "Gelo" on background and "Santa Maria" Caravelle sailing to Funchal A nice condensation effect on the left engine of this Thomson. The other guys said they'd seen it in other planes taking off but...
