Planes and stuff

Finally managed to make some shots on Luxair's B738 LX-LGV, carrying the 60th Anniversary livery of the airline, celebrated last year.  With a rainy morning at Funchal, almost didn't go to the airport but, glad I did...a nice morning of sun, at Santa Cruz and runway 23 in use, which made it even better... Departing back to Luxembourg..more on the arrival, later...

It's been quite a while since I last got a Luxair. Also, a long time since my last Monday afternoon spotting. The weather was dark everywhere but still, had the time and decided to go anyway. A fellow spotter suggested going to this spot to get some take-offs and it was a great idea as the take-off area was the only one with some sun.... Luxair's B738 LX-LGV departing from runway 05 with a dark apron on the back... up in the air, with a nice dark sky...

Allways liked those action pics where you can fit a few planes on the framing...lately hadn't been doing many of those. On the day I went photographing, for the first time, the B738MAX (Tui Belgium OO-MAX, check HERE ), managed to get this one also, more interesting specially because Transavia usually makes short take-offs and on this day, it made a real slow departure up in the air...also...no Airbus on the pic :) That's dificult, here...
