Planes and stuff

Yesterday morning started as a dull day so, decided to try out some pannings on runway 05 take-offs... 2 out of 3 planes it's not bad (at least for me...), even if only 1 shot per plane turned out ok on these 1/25 pannings: Thomas Cook Belgium A320 OO-TCH, departing to Brussels Monarch A321 G-OZBG

It's not usual (at least for me...) to get a plane on both ends of its usual route.... OO-TCH is one of the Thomas Cook Belgium planes that connects Madeira to Brussels.... Last month, at BRU/EBBR This week, at Madeira... FNC/LPMA

For today another set of pics from last Saturday, with runway 23 in use and a very nice sun and weather... F-HBAL, Aigle Azur 's A319 arriving from Paris-Orly (ORY/LFPO) Pushing back, for the return flight, already with runway 05 in use... On the apron, a TAP A320 and another flight from France: Transavia France B738 F-GZHG And...a pic like the ones I like...lots of planes in movement in one frame... Aigle Azur ready to taxi while Thomas Cook Belgium OO-TCH with the new livery take-off from runway 05. On the apron, the traffic I had mentioned plus one of the Air Berlin 's of the day. Lining up at runway 05

Saturday afternoon...runway 23 in use at Madeira International (FNC/LPMA)...already missed those conditions...unfortunatelly it didn't last much but I still managed to get a couple of Air Berlin's take-offs and a Norwegian... For now, D-ABFN take off as photo of the Week: Didn't manage to get the landing...  The push-back with some of the other afternoon flights, in the back: Thomas Cook Belgium OO-TCH (also the first time I got it with new colors), Norwegian B738 LN-NGH and another Air Berlin's B738 D-ABKD Another shot of D-ABFN take-off...gear up!

After quite some time, finally made some pics of Thomas Cook OO-TCH with Ice Watch special livery. Down with white fridge liveries ! At least this one is rainbow colourful :) After arriving from the Canaries, getting ready to return to Brussels An overview of Madeira's (LPMA/FNC) apron The last two ones (A320 Smartlynx YL-LCD and YL-LCA) are going to TAP fleet Have been here for a few days with some TAP maintenance checks TAP take off from runway 05, through the tails HB-VMX TCS Ambulance flight ready to receive its passengers (Cessna 550B Citation Bravo)

Lately I've been a lot more carefull with the spotting rides to the airport due to the gas (fuel / petrol...) price... But with a couple of rare beauties at the same time, it was really worth the trip to LPMA... On that week, Thomas Cook Belgium brought OO-TCH, with the new 10th Aniversary livery a couple of times. The first time, I couldn't go there but on the second, I couldn't let it go without some pics... Around the same time we also had this rare (around here) Icelandair , getting ready to depart to Reykjavik TF-FIA with some nice reflections... Despite I had already got it once with the Abercrombie & Kent titles (check HERE ) it's still a nice and rare catch...

Já que hoje é o dia do Trabalhador, decidi-me por uma foto da semana um nadinha diferente, apesar de não faltarem os aviões. Estas vão dedicadas a todo o pessoal que trabalha na indústria da Aviação. Foram tiradas por estes dias e não deixam de ser curiosas... ;) Olh'ó passarinho!! Nem as tripulantes resistem a tirar umas fotos com as montanhas da Madeira, como fundo... Já agora, este avião foi um dos destaques dos últimos dias em LPMA (que diga-se de passagem tem tido movimentos bastante interessantes....) OO-TCH, A320 da Thomas Cook Belgium, que celebra os 10 anos da companhia Esta tripulante já foi mais comedida nas espreitadelas que deu cá para fora... (e realmente não estava com ar de muitos amigos...espero que não tivesse recebido os passageiros com essa cara... ;)) Entretanto, se repararem no registo...outro dos destaques... Já cá esteve 2 vezes esta semana (o segundo dia foi esta tarde...) D-ABMC, B737 da Air Berlin, que ostenta os títulos One World  Mais fotos d...
