A310 to Boston

Azores Airlines, former SATA International, brought their Airbus A310 to Madeira on a flight from Boston (KBOS/BOS), which arrived in the morning.
Here are some photos from the departure back to the origin as flight S4 2209.

Edelweiss

If this wasn't a blog dedicated to aviation, just by looking at the title of this message you could think that I would be writing about a flower (although it's somehow related), a beer, a grape type, a glider model among many other things. But no, today I'm writing about Edelweiss Air (which logo it's a edelweiss flower which is the origin of the airline name) that made it's premiere in LPMA/FNC.
It arrived at 11:41 from Zurich as flight WK284 and was entitled to a water cannon salute and the passengers were gifted with some souvenirs. Departed about one hour later, also to Zurich, as flight WK285.

(Airbus 310)²

It's been a while since the last time I saw an Airbus 310. Fortunately this week we had two at LPMA/FNC. The first one, from SATA International, came on a Monday (02/04/12); the second, from White Airways, came Friday (06/04/12) but only after about three and half hours off schedule. Initially it was expected to arrive at 18:00(local) then delayed to 19:30(local) and again to 21:30(local). This meant that I had to get my tripod so I could take a photo to the airplane.

Curiously this Airbus was in SATA's fleet until 2005, in the same year it went to White Airways.

Ready for pushback.

Ready and cleared to taxi to rwy 05 for the final leg of the flight till Lisbon.

Cimber Sterling and other traffic.

Hi there.
Another weekend (19th and 20th June), another opportunity to do some plane-spotting. That was even better with the good and warm weather that we had.
Nothing special on these set of photos I'm putting here, probably the highlight goes to the Sterling's B737 now operated by Cimber Sterling and the B757 from British Airways.
