Sécurité Civile

Dash 8-Q400 are a common sight around Madeira, since most days we have one, twice, from SATA, operating from and to Ponta Delgada and Las Palmas. Today we got a different one, a French Q400

A310 White

Last weekend we got an unusual visitor around here: an A310! I had already photographed this one two years ago, but it was all white. Now it has the titles of White, a portuguese charter company. It came to bring Sporting football team to play against a local team, União da Madeira.

Airbus A330 Armée de l'Aire

One of the best movements around Madeira, and probably the best one during the year of 2015! Not only it is an amazing plane, as it did a superb takeoff! Taking off from runway 05, the A330 rotated near the fire station, in front of the Charlie holding point. For the ones that are more unfamiliar with the airport, the A330-200 just needed less than 700 meters to do the rotation!

20 years of Air Nostrum

Today's Air Nostrum, a little bit different than the normal thing. Besides the new livery, it has also stickers celebrating the 20th anniversary of the company.
