Exceptional weather for most of the morning. The afternoon got a bit cloudy though. Too cloudy for my liking.
As was to be expected there where some interesting charters to bring fans to Faro for the Sweden vs the Netherlands match. As was also to be expected I could not get a photo of all but one of them.
A Blue Line MD-83 took of from the wrong runway so I missed it. A few hours later an Air Pulmantur 747 took off while my camera went on strike (first time ever I have a problem with my cam and it happens when such a plane goes by). I did get to see an Excel Airways 738, oh joy.

I have grown into the new livery of KLM. I like them better now than the previous livery, that looked too cluttered. Must admit though that it took some getting used too. Maybe you should see them for yourselve to get used to it.
The tristar has become semi-regular. They show up about once every week, I believe on the DCA flight. DCA used to hire a 767 from Sobelair, but with Sobelairs bankruptcy DCA has had to improvise.
As for the Austrian livery, well… it´s better than their old livery… let´s just keep it at that before things get nasty. 😉
Love the KLM 744 pic. I really like the new livery now, I think it is a big improvement. It makes all the aircraft look so much fresher. The old one just looks gloomy now becuae of the grey cheatline! 😉 🙂
