Planes and stuff

 Usually make the long exposures shots during the night...today, with dark weather and no special traffic, played around a little bit with ND Filters and a tripod for some day long-exposures... Binter ATR-72 EC-LAD, with TAP A321NEO CS-TJJ passing, on the back... And, with Luxair's B737 LX-LGQ

Na manhã do passado Sábado, a Vinci Airports organizou a I Edição do Vinci Airports Spotters Day. Uma excelente iniciativa para os spotters, que decorreu em vários dos aeroportos geridos por esta empresa. O Aeroporto da Madeira foi um dos locais onde decorreu esta iniciativa, permitindo a entrada no lado ar de vários spotters mais habituados a ver, fotografar e filmar um pouco mais longe.. Como seria de esperar, foram muitos os cliques...por hoje fica apenas um cheirinho com uma amostra de alguns dos movimentos...depois logo vou colocado mais umas fotos/registos desse dia... Fazendo o gosto ao dedo com o A320 F-HBAO da Aigle Azur, partindo da 05. À direita, um spotter local bem conhecido pelos seus vídeos em FNC...Façam uma visita ao seu canal de Youtube, AQUI Taxi do A320 da TAP CS-TNX, com o comandante a fazer um thumbs up ao pessoal! Sempre bom ver as tripulações interagirem com os entusiastas...claro que havia outros mais concentrados noutra coisa qualquer... Saída do...

From the same day of TAP's A330 Star Alliance CS-TOH (Check HERE ), a sequence of a Luxair B737 take-off, from runway 23... Don't have any published Luxair pics from last year and this year, these are the first....way long time... Really like their livery and with a sunny take off from runway 23, even better... LX-LGQ

Last monday, went, for the first time on these vacations, to the airport for an afternoon of spotting. Lucky me, runway 23 was in use so, decided to try out a few diferent spots for the take-offs. The best framings didn't turn out as good as I wanted (out of focus and some heat haze) but still, these points turned out to be some good locations, to explore further more... My favorite of the day...PGA's Foker 100 CS-TPC climbing out from runway 23, to Lisbon (LIS/LPPT) One of the targets of the day...it's been a long time since I last had photographed a Luxair and I really do like its livery... LX-LGQ landing on 23 and the take off...too bad the best framing pics, with the airport in the back turned out too crappy... Very early take off for Easyjet's  G-EZIO, photographed from the most usual spotting point... Another of my favorite pics of the day... F-GYAQ, the red tail A321, from Air Méditerranée The landing another view...
