Hi On the 21st of December I was at Madrid airport, frim sunrise until sunset. It was a day with a clear sky and beautiful winter light, so I've enjoyed myself taking photos all day and logging registrations. Because during these time of the year, the sun is passing "south of airport", it ...

Hi everone

Currently HiFly Malta 9H-HFJ A330-223 is being positioned to Ramstein. It is scheduled to depart tomorrow (19th) at 0800UTC.

Porto airport is what I consider to be my home airport. Even though nowadays I live far from it and the number of airport visits per year are just a few. Last year it reached 15 million passengers for the first time and this year should be another record breaking year. On the 4th of August I had the...

I've visited Lisbon in late july, only doing spotting on mornings and late afternoons, avoiding the harsh sun and not so good light. A log of the aircrafts seen during those 3 days is available on the "Spotting Rest of Europe" section. 22nd https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ...

Hello everyone Between 22 and 24 of July I was in Lisbon. Although not on a spotting trip, I had time make a few visits to the airport. I would stay between sunrise and 11am and between 5pm and sunset. Lisbon is no longer a place to go if you want to see bizjets (Cascais is the place to be). Yet, th...

Hi everyone Today I bring to you some afternoon photos from Lisbon airport, that I took last month. This was my first time spotting a SkyUp Europe aircraft. It was operating for Wizz Air: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85j7Cnf1tnWB4uV_9IDit7ranLIkEId1Aq7c19q8Pj1D51_mn76s...

Hello everyone Last month I visited for the 1st time Castelo Branco (Portugal) aerodrome. There's not much going on here but on the 11th of May the annual Beiras Airshow took place and that drawn a lot of GA aircraft. The Portuguese Air Force was also present with a DHC-1 Chipmunk and a C-295. Notew...

Thanks for the throutlly explanation. Ladder it is! And indeed a good system if you can return it at the end of the trip.
Best regards and once again, a great set of photos!

And there is so much more cool stuff on your flickr page... Question: On the FedEx A300 photo I can see your shade plus the fence. Are you using a l...
