Planes and stuff

A couple of days ago (Jun.16th) went to the airport for the afternoon traffic. Was expecting to get some military traffic, in preparation for PoAF Celebrations 2010, that will be held at Madeira. Not long after I arrived, "Snout 47" (Sqn.502, Elefantes - Elephants) entered the frequency and was cleared to runway 05. Some nice winglex was noticeable.... The final was windy,,,, They parked far away, on the apron but with an eye on my laptop and another on what they were doing, I noticed that they were unloading 1 Toyota Yaris...and then....another...after which still managed to get another more out....3 of them....Definitely didn't knew the 295 could carry all that.... For the take off decided to go to another location, behind the net, for the taxi and were I could get some nice perspective of the take-off...if they took-off on the "right" place... Well....like everything else in life, spotting is made of choices...and this was a bad one...They took...

Last Monday, I managed to get OE-LNS, the first B737-800 in full Austrian livery! It was the first time it came to Madeira with this livery, which, by the way looks really nice and way better than the old Lauda livery. Had to run like hell to get it and arrived at the terminal's balcony just as it was entering the stand... The shadowed "www" in the backgound of the "Austrian.com" gives a nice touch to the engine... Was already outside the terminal when I noticed that the Cimber Sterling was also arriving, which is allways a nice catch, so went back to the balcony. This livery is really nice and nostalgic.... ...and a bit of a wider open shot so you can see the other new stuff of the day... Did you see it? No clue of what I'm talking about? Well, it's the new "Follow Me" car....hehe! It's the first time I see it.... Looks real nice!
