Planes and stuff

Last Tuesday we had around here another air ambulance. Just love those Learjet 35 and this one, from Air Med looks rather nice with a simple but pretty livery. It was the second time I photographed this plane (check the first one HERE ) Opposite to the first time, now I didn't manage to get the landing. It arrived from London Oxford (OXF) and was schedulled to depart two hours later to New Castle (NCL). Anyway, it was the first time I noticed something rather curious on the refueling routine... The pilot had already opened the fuel tanks and on both tip tanks, a can of something with a tube into the tank.... Made some googling and looks like its some kind of de-icing for fuel....check HERE Anyone had any more info on this procedure?? making some calls while waiting for the fuel truck... G-JMED

Because smaller planes are also interesting (specially in an airport like Madeira, were Airbus/Boeing rules), here's a couple of shots of last Monday smallies... The small catch of the day... G-JMED, from AirMed arriving for a Medical flight "local" CS-TRB, the Sata Q200 that connects Madeira and Porto Santo
