Air Berlin's Football and Beer Logo Jet

This Saturday (25/04) we had at LPMA Air Berlin's logo jet 'Fan Force One'.

The logo jet was introduced by the German airline, in association with the Bitburger beer brewery, to promote the 2014 football world cup in Brazil.

Monarch on Double

After a pause, for a few weeks, from plane spotting and after seeing that today there was two scheduled flights of Monarch to FNC, I went till the aiport to take some photos of the two airplanes.
The G-OZBK arrived from Gatwick as flight ZB 746 and G-MRJK arrived from Birmingham as flight ZB 982.

Funny that both airplanes are ex Dutchbird (DBR / 5D)

A Blue Travel Service and a Falcon 50

After a few years trying to add Travel Service's HA-LKE (which was the O2 logojet) to my collection, finally today it happened. The airplane arrived from Warsaw as flight QS 7324 and flew back to Warsaw as flight QS 7325.
Another surprise of the day was the visit of the Portuguese Air Force Falcon 50, that performed a few touch-and-go landings before heading to Mainland.

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.

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.
