Planes and stuff

Já que estava no campo das recordações, por hoje ficam dois registos da Sterling que ainda não tinha partilhado por cá... Desde miúdo que a Sterling me ficou marcada por trazer à Madeira o que na altura (e ainda hoje...) pensava ser um dos mais belos aviões comerciais, o Caravelle, que ficava lindo na pintura Sterling de então.... Fundada em 1962, acabaria por passar por várias falências, reaberturas, fusões e renomeações...e falências....sim, já falei em falências mas...foram várias... Podem ver historial AQUI Ficam pois, 2 registos de Setembro de 2009, do OY-MRF, ainda com cores e títulos Sterling mas, já ao serviço da Cimber Sterling (que abriria falência em Maio de 2012....) B737 OY-MRF aterrando na 05 (agora ao serviço da Southwest, com o registo N7816B) Taxiando para a 05, com destaque para o G-MSJF da Flyglobespan (que já faliu igualmente) e para o A319 da SAS com cores retro OY-KBO... nos últimos anos, a SAS voltou a voar com 737 para a Madeira...

A few more shots of last monday... It will be interesting to see the other side photos, taken by the inside spotter...lol This afternoon, the SAS is again the retro (OY-KBO) and Transavia is speciall livery (PH-HZL) (FINALLY!!! some special livery by Transavia around here...let's see if I can go there...)

Like I said on the previous post, last Monday was had a great afternoon of spotting. Good traffic in little time and a great afternoon light. Still wasn't this time we had a special livery from Transavia... The Cimber Sterling (from Copenhagen) had about 4 hours delay, which was great for me (not so good for the passengers...) as allowed me to photograph it and arrived with great afternoon light, instead of the awfull mid-day strong light (actually I thing that at the schedulled time it was dark, cloudy and with litle shower rain...) Anyway, a diferent registration from last week but still with Sterling livery. Maybe next week we get a Cimber Sterling livery... About to leave. Holding short of runway 05. Waiting for the departure of Transavia. Was almost forgeting this one, allways a well worth catch as the 735 is a very rare bird around here (also didn't expect to see Palmair livery around here anymore, after European bankrupt) FlyGlobespan is one of those that's allways n...
