Planes and stuff

Finally made some shots on the CR7 current jet: LX-GOL, a stunning Bombardier Global Express XRS, operated by Global Jet Luxembourg. This plane has been here for a few times but never did manage to make some shots of it. Opposite to its previous plane, this one is really nice and, like I said, with a stunning livery that looks great with this kind of light. Don't really know if he came or the plane just came to get his family but, don't really care...the plane was the aim. Check Arrived yesterday from Madrid and should depart tonight.

This morning went for TAP A339 CS-TUI and as I was there, waited for the landing of Global 7500 Global Jet Luxembourg LX-PAK, arriving from Lisbon. Looks like the passengers (or at least one of them) was considered quite an important piece of people, with some photographers, police near the plane, airport exit and along the expressway to Funchal and "black cars" with drivers waiting... Update on the passengers... It was Prince Aga Khan IV, that came for a Madeira Classical Orchestra concert. 

 After some flights and trainings at Madeira, finally got, for the first time, a Luftwaffe Bombardier BD-700 Global Express (14+07) Not the best meteo but, it's on the bucket...can always (maybe...) improve later.... Arriving from Spain, on runway 23, after a first training missed approach (quite far from from the airport)... Couldn't manage to wait for the departure....

Haven't got many of these, specially with portuguese registration... CS-ESS, Executive Jet Management Europe Bombardier BD-700-2A12 Global 7500 for a night-stop at Madeira.

From the same day of the premiere of AirSeven, the departure of Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express TC-CHN of MNG Jet, from runway 23, to Liberia International Airport (LIR/MRLB), after a technical stop. Quite lucky to get this one departing when I was passing at the airport...

This morning, finally photographed my first Monarch A320 with Sharklets, after a few misses.... When I noticed, in FR24 that G-ZBAS was coming, decided to go for some shots.... Glad the weather wasn't the same as yesterday morning... Easyjet's A319 G-EZBM, arriving from Lisbon TAP's A319 CS-TTN, arriving from Porto From Nante (NTE/LFRS) Transavia's B738 F-GZHD  And finally, Monarch's A320, G-ZBAS...the weather had been nice but I allways expecting some clouds to cover the sun...fortunatelly, they were passing bellow the sun... On final to runway 05  The surprise of the morning...a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express with Canadian registration: C-GLUL, from HRT - Chartright Air Inc...fridge white but still, a nice catch Was requesting clearance to depart when I was leaving the airport....  As I was there, decided to wait for the Enter Air, it's been a while since I last photographed one of these... After a strange and quite high a...

Apesar de haver um par de ângulos diferentes que tenho andado para experimentar nas fotos ao A330, ontem acabei por optar pelo sítio mais habitual, visto estar previsto um privado, com ETA para a mesma altura que o 330.... É este tipo de imagem que me faz preferir a foto ao vídeo.. Smoke on...num dos trens, com o outro trem a centímetros do chão... Ainda mais interessante, por se tratar do trem de várias rodas do 330.... CS-TOG a chegar de LIS, após o que prosseguiria para CCS (Caracas) A razão que me levou àquele spot...acabou por mais de uma hora depois do previsto... Não apanhei a chegada do EC-LNM, um Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS CS-TTL, um A319 da TAP aterrando na 05, enquanto esperava pelo restante tráfego... e um dos Sata da "casa"...CS-TRB, aguardando o próximo voo para o Porto Santo, junto dos aviões do Aeroclube

This morning went to the airport to photograph Belair's (Air Berlin) 767. D-AAAZ was still around, so got the oportunity for some close-up's...

These two beauties have been here for a few day's (at least since August, 25th) At first tought that this Global 5000 was a Gulfstream, but it does look better than the Gulfstream, that's not one of my fav. bizjets at all.... Here seen with TAP's A330 CS-TOK taxiing after its landing on runway 23 (and an aborted approach, due to traffic on the runway) This one has a very nice livery! As far as I know it was supposed to have departed this morning...
