Planes and stuff

Looks like French airline Air Méditerranée is down, or as stated in their website, in Judicial Liquidation.... To the memory...a set of pics taken at Madeira... B735 F-HCOA A321 F-GYAQ A321 F-GYAJ

I'm getting the B735 from Air Méditerranée a lot... Just once got the A321 (Check HERE ) Anyway, diferent angles for this one.... F-HCOA  on short final to runway 05... Was too hot (and with heat waves) for the pics I was trying so, after the landing of this one, moved closer to the runway  The departure, also from runway 05. A windy and early departure

Yesterday had to go to Santa Cruz so, made a quick stop at runway 23 to get the arrival of the Air Méditerranée... It's allways nice to get some runway 23 landings on the afternoon...unfortunatelly looks like summer (and sun) still didn't find the way to Madeira... Short final to Med'air B737 smoke on on F-HCOA landing Just before the landing of the Air Méditerranée, still managed to get the landing of local Aeroclube Tobago CS-DCH.... passing high by the wind indicator....

Air Méditerranée started flying to Madeira on this summer season and it's been coming to Madeira for a few weeks. Despite that still hadn't got any pic of it. Last Thursday decided to go for it: was coming on the afternoon right on time to get it after work and it was a B735, which is not that usual around here... But oposite to Funchal, the weather at the airport was quite dull and it looks like the pilots had only trained Madeira's  runway 05...despite the wind was indicating runway 23, they chose, both for landing and take-off runway 05.... After missing the landing (was waiting on 23, it landed on 05...) headed for the usual spots, together with a few more spotters, which would give a  nice location for runway 23 take-off...... Despit the winds indicating 23, it linned up on 05, passing by Bulgaria Air  LZ-FBC and  Falcon 2000 PH-VBG check the wind indicator....it was quite a long take-off run... F-HCOA and (taxiing) the other french traffi...
