Couple of shots of some of my favourite liverys and islands. ;)

This is a shot taken over Madeira, this A320 has just recently taken off from Funchal Airport and has crossed of the devouring scenery of Funchal...

Image

The second is a couple of shots of the A321 from Plane spotters view on the Airport fences(One of them had a good optical zoom,so they got a close up!), in the bright sunset of Gran Canaria over "Carrizal" heading for a Landing in Las Palmas Airport (Capital).
Gran Canaria is part of the Canary Islands.
The airport is actually located on Punto de Gando which is located near a larger town Ingenio.
Some of the main tourist areas in Gran Canaria are "Maspalomas" and " Playa del Ingles"....

The Aircraft touches down with a view of the Ocean.

These are shots of a Finnair taking off from Fuerteventura on a stormy day. ATC says weather is OK, but keep a steady altitude and heading and keep an eye on the weather. 45mins into the flight the weather gets serously worse so a landing is arranged in the tiny island of La Palma.

Hope you enjoyed;
