Let's start 2013

And here I go for a new season of plane spotting.

This year I started with night plane spotting, last night, with a flood of TAP which I didn't photographed much.

And today a quick stop at the airport to catch my favorite logojet, Condor's D-ABON Wir lieben Fliegen.

Last night's registrations.

Closing Spotting Season 2012

And there it is, the last plane spotting day of 2012, at least for me.
Unfortunately there wasn't any last hour surprise traffic, like an A310 or B767 or something more eye catching than the regular airplanes that we are used to have in this part of the world. Yet the regular traffic together with the sunny weather and the company of fellow spotters was even better than a different traffic movement.

Holidays Czech Airlines, Lufthansa, and Other Traffic

After being away from plane spotting for almost two and half months due to technical problems with my Sigma 50-500, and after repairing the lens, today I went till FNC/LPMA to catch some of the Saturday traffic under a windy, grey and rainy weather. The highlight for me was the A320 from Holidays Czech Airlines and Lufthansa. The later started operations to FNC a few weeks ago but yet a first for me, at least in FNC.

TUIfly's Logo Jets

On this post I bring to you two of the six TUIfly logo jets. 

After missing them on their first visit to Madeira Island, I had some luck last Tuesday since both the CEWE.de and the ÜBÄRFlieger logo jets returned to FNC / LPMA, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
