Planes and stuff

For today, a memory on Finnair's B757 with the previous livery... The last Finnair B752 has been retired from the airline in 2014... OH-LBO, was retired in 2013 and is now N903TB, flying for L-3 Communications Advanced Aviation...

Yesterday, the guys at Lajes (Terceira, Azores) got the Air Force One, with President Obama on its way to the south America. I remembered getting around here an USAF C-40 with a livery somehow similar to the Air Force One back in 2007 so, decided it was going to be the Photo of the Week but then looked at all the little treasures that I had photographed that day (all now gone), including a Braathen's B737 that I still hadn't processed and published...so Photo of the Week goes for the Braathens... USAF C-40 50730 Another gone pearl...XL Airways (UK) still with the old livery and with a Canadian registration with "Operated by Sunwing" sticker - C-FTAE Photo of the Week: Braathens B737-700 LN-TUI...another gone airline.. And, yet another golden catch (despite the quality...) A Finnair B752 OH-LBO

As Finnair starts operating the new A321 with Sharklets and new livery to Madeira, I guess it's a good occasion to publish a few memory shots on previous planes/liveries. I remember Finnair at Madeira with the good old MD :) Still, I only started photographing planes in 2004 and back then they were already bringing the Boeing 752. OH-LBO taking off from runway 05 with a livery used a couple of rebrandings ago... This airplane is already stored (since September 2013) In 2005 they were already using a new livery and in 2007 got my first Finnair B752 with winglets. OH-LBT earlier this year, linning up on runway 23 It's one of the 2 only B752 still on duty with Finnair, currently Finnaly, last week (Oct.27th 2013) Finnair brough its first A321 to Madeira. It was also the first A321 around here and the first Finnair with the new 2010 livery here. (Check HERE ) OH-LZG, taking off to Helsinki

Noticed yesterday Finnair's new livery in Skyliner (Check HERE ).... Well, looks quite bad...(in my opinion). To do that, then they might as well stay the same... Anyway, looking forward to start seeing their B757 around here with the new livery...at least it's different.... Until now, only photographed 2 liveries by Finnair and the current one is definitely my favorite (specially against the new one....) Full set of gone liveries...
