XL at Porto Santo

2008.08.25
While on vacations, specially in Porto Santo, allways try to make some spotting. After all, different planes, diferent landscapes and best of all taking the time to do something you really enjoy.

When taking these pics, I would never had guessed that a couple of weeks later, this airline would be shutting doors...Just read the news yesterday (12 Sept. 2008)...
This is an airline that also goes to Madeira, its one of those usual that you take as a granted visitor and also was a part of a major tour group, so the news were a big surprise (at least for me...)

The plane came earlier than schedulled and I had to run a lot to thake it. The road was blocked and I had to run the last part over vineyards and jumping walls...got into place just in time to turn the camera on and started shooting...

Anyway, a new registration for me. Still hadn't caught this one at Madeira...

jorgeabreu We should never take things for granted, even the everyday aircrafts (like CS-TGX) we must "shot" everytime :P
