A couple of times each year I travel to Lisbon, but usually I don't spend time at the runway. The Portuguese aviation scene is not too big and the traffic in Lisbon is also not too much. But, this time it was different! 7/8 and 9 December the EU/Africa summit was helt in Lisbon. I only heard this a couple of days before leaving, but still in time! After arriving I could talk my girlfriend into spending some time at the runway..... here is why:
First, some nice Military and Government visitors
A Mali Government BAC 1-11!!! I can't even remember when was the last time I saw a BAC 1-11 taking off...... and my girlfriend couldn't believe the thing actually had hush-kits installed!
Some other bizzers:
And of course the usual TAP ones, including one of the last in the old colours :
The bird I arrived on from MUC this time:
And because this one is soooooo good !
I hope you all like them! I sure did!

Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

The log is here, although I wouldn't call it a full log. Planes were already leaving when I arrived (hence, the unread AMI A319), but at least I got some of the action!
