Azores July 2010 Photoreport. (LPHR/LPPD/LPLA)

Post by 757Flyer »

Hello All!

This summer I've spent my vacations in the Azores. It was not really a spotting trip, but I've found some time to take a few shots out there.
There were also quite some flights planned, here is the schedule.

1. OR733 from Amsterdam to Ponto Delgada (with a stopover at Terceira).
2. SP440 from Ponto Delgada to Horta.
3. SP631 from Horta to Terceira.
4. OR734 from Terceira to Amsterdam (with a stopover at Ponto Delgada).

Here are the shots I would like to share with you. I hope you'll like them!
Let's kick off with some wingviews of the first flight:

02-07-2010
#1. A few minutes after departure from Amsterdam, a very nice setting of clouds!
Image
#2. Cruising over the Atlantic ocean. This is ArkeFly B737-800 PH-TFB.
Image
#3. After the stopover back in the air. View of Terceira Island!
Image

10-07-2010
On the last day at the Island of Saõ Miguel, I've spent a few hours along the runway at Ponto Delgada.
#4. Very nice colored SATA International bird coming in!
Image
#5. The new Q400 NG of SATA Air Açores, only a few months old!
Image
#6. Heavy time! Very nice A310 coming in.
Image
#7. SATA A320 back on the runway and rolling for departure.
Image
#9. And blasting off the runway!
Image
#10. Prop vortex :D !
Image

11.07.2010
Today the flight to Horta in a brand new Dash8-Q400 CS-TRF!
#11. Many thanks to the people of the fuelling! They were a bit late with filling the dash which I was going to fly with, so we had to wait in the bus till they were ready. And guess what a nice surprise came in in the morning light!
Image
#12.
Image
#13. Flying past mount Pico!
Image
#14. Many thanks to the very nice crew for making this picture possible!
Image
#15. I love the paint :D!
Image

13.07.10
#16. After I had visited the vulcano at Faial and drove past the airport, I saw this bird backtracking so I made quick stop.
Image

14.07.10
#17. After three very nice days on Faial I moved on to the last Island, Terceira. Here we have again a Dash 8-Q400 CS-TRE.
Here the Island of Pico can be seen.
Image
#18. Flying over Saõ Jorge.
Image
#19. Here I want to thank the very nice crew who made this flight a really great experience! One if the best flights I had so far!
Image
#20. Thanks a lot again to the very nice crew for making this picture possible!
Image

21-07-2010
#21. Just a few photos from Lajes. Unfortunately there wasn't much military traffic.
Image
#22. I could nearly hear the captain as he was taxiing to here. He was already taxiing to the apron near the terminal, but then I guess they told him to turn around and go to the parking at the other side of the runway. I think he was not very pleased about this!
Image
#23. Emergency Landing! Engine failure No. 2. Everything worked out okay.
Image

24-07-2010
#24. Already the return flight again! This is ArkeFly (Miami Air) B737-800 N739MA.
Image
#25. Turning over the Atlantic!
Image
#26. A nice lake in Spain!
Image
#27. And last but not least, a nice flight deck! Many thanks to the crew again!
Image

This was it! I hope you enjoyed them!
I can say I'm looking back on a very nice time there.
Comments are welcome! :mrgreen:

Kind Regards,
Olmo Müller

Thanks! Yes, I took them from a viewing deck! I was also trying to find another nice spotting location, but it's difficult to find a good one, as the airport is surrounded by high fences of the military base. I was glad the TAP A330 came in from that side, so I was able to take a quite nice shot of that one :).

There is a perimeter road on most of the southern side, along the runway. On some places if you stay a little away from the fence you can stand on higher ground and take pictures over the fence. However, some steps are always handy...

Did you also go whale spotting? That really is the best thing about the Azores!
