ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Lisbon - Jul/Aug 2023 (CIV/MIL)

Post by MikeRomeo »

Hi everyone.

After the Palma de Mallorca trip I visited Lisbon for planespotting on two different occasions. One in July (25th and 26th) and another one in August (7th until 11th). I'm very picky in tearms of sunlight so I was only doing spotting on the first and last 3/4 hours of the day, when the light is best. The rest of time I would take a break from the sun and would enjoy cooking lunch, reading a bit or upating my log.

I don't have a car so all transportation was done by metro, bus and then short walks to the spotting points itself. As a spotting locations reference, the Spottersguide website is great:

On the July trip, runway 02 was in use all the time. I've used spots 1 and 4. On the August trip, both runways were used:02 and 20. I've used spots 1,4,7 and 9.

Photos are separated by those two months but then are mixed with no particular order at all. The Wamos Air A330 operates for TAP on routes to Brazil. The Euroatlantic B777 below the Air France A220-300 is their latest addition to the fleet: CS-TSW. The photo was takien in July when it was not operating yet. But few days latter it started operating for Azores Airlines. Because it arrives to Lisbon, from Ponta Delgada, at around noon, I've allways missed it. Better luck next time... A330-200 CS-TON is one of 3 left on the TAP fleet. It used to have "Air Cargo" titles. From those 3, it is the only one that has its winglets painted. B737-8 MAX D4-CCJ is new on the Cabo Verde Airlines fleet. In on particular day, D4-CCJ and D4-CCI (B737-700) were seen departing within 2 hours.

Spotting in Lisbon is still very easy and I've returned home with plenty of photos to work on for a long time.
I hope you enjoyed this report.
