Valetta Airlines / Heston Livery

Imagem
Yesterday we got the debut of Heston livery, with Valetta Airlines 9H-NZL A320 performing a Vilnius flight to Madeira. Not much of a sunny day to welcome this new stuff...in fact wind out of limits brought some dificulties to some flights...still, after quite some holdings, this one managed to land on a steady approach and touch down. Sunny Rainbow far on the downwing... and quite dark on the landing...

100º na Madeira

Imagem
Ontem tivemos o TAP A339 CS-TUI, com os títulos relativos ao 100º avião, a fazer o voo de Lisboa. Os wide-bodies são cada vez mais raros por cá, pelo que, lá fui fazer uns cliques, apesar da horinha chata, em termos de luz...

A Very VIP...

This morning went for TAP A339 CS-TUI and as I was there, waited for the landing of Global 7500 Global Jet Luxembourg LX-PAK, arriving from Lisbon. Looks like the passengers (or at least one of them) was considered quite an important piece of people, with some photographers, police near the plane, airport exit and along the expressway to Funchal and "black cars" with drivers waiting... Update on the passengers... It was Prince Aga Khan IV, that came for a Madeira Classical Orchestra concert.
