Peeking Inside the A380

One of the best moments this year, was the opportunity I got to visit HiFly's Airbus A380, 9H-MIP, which usually parks at Beja. Although, at the time, I had already seen a bunch of A380s at Heathrow, being so close to this huge airplane made me realize the reality of its size.

Here's a selection of photos from the interior of the A380, both from the cockpit and the cabin, and also from the crew rest area.

Boeing 727-100

Last week Oporto and Madeira got the visit of Mr Gordon Getty, descendant of Jean Paul Getty, who was the richest man of his time, worldwide famous for his empire in petrol, and most recently because of the movie All the Money in the World, about the kidnaping of his grandson John Paul Getty III, which he refused to pay the ransom.

Mr Getty flies on this 48 year old Boeing 727-100, that delights the aviation enthusiasts wherever he goes. With only 4 of these birds flying worldwide, it has to be one of my best catchesever, and the best movement in years to come to Madeira.

Despite not enjoying backlit photos, I wanted to catch this perspective of the B721 departing Madeira. In the end, even with the backlit, it's my favorite shot of this aircraft
