Planes and stuff

A rare visitor at Madeira, Nigerian Air Force Dassault Falcon 7X 5N-FGU on a technical stop for refueling, on its way from Abuja Airport (Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport), to New York - JFK Been quite a lot since I last went for some night-shots. Went with another spotting mate, wich is allways nice. One has to enjoy these little pleasures and value them...

 A few shots of Ryanair B738 EI-GXI at Madeira, on its night-stop, after the flight from Lisbon, with the maintenance still working on the plane. With TAP's A320 CS-TNJ arriving from Lisbon, on the back A bit of an overview with the main reason for my trip to the airport, on the left...Nigeria Air Force Falcon 7X 5N-FGU, on a technical stop. More on that later...

Back to the Madeira Airport pics... First time I got an Easyjet A321NEOMA  with the new special titles... Arriving from London Gatwick yesterday afternoon. G-UZMA about to land on runway 05 With Tuifly Robinson special livery (B738 D-ABKN) holding shot off runway 05 Taxiing to the gate with some heat waves but still noticeable M-RFAP, a Dassult Falcon 7X and Privilege B752 EC-HDS, that brough F.C.Porto to play with C.S.Marítimo for the Portuguese Premiere League.

Belgian bizjet OO-JUK, a Dassault Falcon 7X, ready for the night stop at Madeira, earlier this month

It's not everyday we get a Falcon 7X at Madeira... F-HIPK on final to runway 05 Dassault Aviation 7X landing on runway 05

Despite the regular amount of private bizjets we receive at Madeira, the Dassault Falcon 7X isn't that usual around here so, even if the livery isn't that interesting, it's allways a nice catch, specially on the morning light... VP-BZE, arriving from Orlando Executive Airport (ORL/KORL) Madeira approach is allways a nice and interesting approach (check the F/O filming with the tablet)

It's not everyday we get to have a Falcon 7X at Madeira... Yesterday didn't manage to get its arrival and today couldn't get the departure also so, decided to go in the morning for a few shots of the bizjets in the apron. VQ-BSN parked at the apron, with Easyjet's A319 G-EZFW landing on runway 05, from Lisbon. CS-TFQ, a Learjet 45 from OMNI also parked at the apron with the extra of the fire truck test, in the back. The 3 smallies of the morning. The couple of bizjets together with CS-AYT, the Dornier 228 from Aerovip that was waiting for the return flight to Porto Santo.  G-EZFW entering the stand...was there so, might as well take the shot.
