NEOS B763

B767 are one regulars at Madeira but, during the summer, neighbour island of Porto Santo has been receiving a weekly flight from Milan by Neos, with the B763...

I-NDMJ just arriving from Milan...the return flight should arrive at Milan at an "interesting" time of the night....

Primeiro Vueling do ano

Depois de um interregno, fica um registo de um Vueling em Lisboa com duas curiosidades....

Apesar de estar a voar para a Madeira durante a época de Verão, ainda não apanhei nenhum Vueling por cá.... :)
A outra prende-se com o B738 da NEOS parqueado ao fundo, segundo parece com problemas técnicos, o que acabaria por motivar a vinda de um A340 da Air Plus Ultra ao Porto Santo, para efectuar um voo NEOS

EC-HHA finalizando o push-back.

Passing by...

Today I went to the airport side of the island and on the going and on the return made some quick stops and managed to get 3 interesting planes...

This Neos comes on regular basis to Porto Santo but it's very irregular on the trips to Madeira.


Despit beeing another Tui blue plane it's not a very usual airline so, it's a nice catch (but I would go to the airport just for it...)
Lining up on runway 05, before departing to Milan, Malpensa Airport.

This one was a surprise! Noticed a military convoy in front of me on their way to the airport and was convinced that it would be arriving an Air Force C-130.
Well...I went on my affairs and returned and they were still waiting at the airport's ramp door...
They must have been there waiting for about 1:30h... (g'anda seca...)
So much for schedulles...
Anyway the plane was finally arriving with callsign "Portugal 37" and it wasn't a C-130... it was a C-295!


This Tuifly was right behind the C-295 (with a big delay...it was suposed to arrive early in the morning, not at lunch...) and it was a yellow one, rare catch for me, so waited...

After turning right into final it made a huge deviation to the left with pilots strugling with the wind during a bit of a long moment to stabilize the plane....

27.Apr.09 - Axis by Neos and others

On this morning, the highlights were the two Axis flights and the Viking. Still this wasn't yet the day that we had Axis new livery around here. Instead I got surprised with a NEOS making the second Axis flight.
Also, another point of interest was the Viking that have been bringing diferent registrations on every week since it restarted flying to Madeira.

This Thomson had the "fly.com" from the titles gone (begining of the change to Thomson Airways?)



Weather didn't help, as it was too unstable with areas with sun and others with no sun...I don't know about really skilled photographers but, for me its gets real hard for getting good results with that kind of changes...specially because when photographing a plane coming real fast on final you don't get much time for changing settings...

I guess the second shot of this Thomson was the best of the day for me. It turned out really sharp and clear with the sun on the right place and the heat from the jetblast give a really nice effect on the down back of the plane.

Last pic of the day, for me. The arrival of Capt. J.Costa
