Remarks: A non-payed element of this airport, doing it's job: Avoiding Birdstrikes! Of course we have hawks to help on that job, but this dummy works 24h per day and does not require any payment !
Remarks: Center console of this ex-CityBird (OO-CTB). It was once, stored at Victorville, California (2/October/2002) as P4-BDL. Flying for Finnair since 6/June/2007. Santa painting.
You can see at the center, between the two FMS, the altimeter, Indicated Air Speed (IAS), and Artificial Horizon.
Remarks: Pictured almost at dusk from Faro ATC-Tower. This B763 looks very close to the sand, but only due to the big distance I made the picture. After it you can see the construction of a new hangar as well as the city of Faro after the wetlands. In the back of it one of our fantastic islands, Armona close to Olhão.
Remarks: Preparing departure for Germany. This aircraft made a "pit stop" at Faro for refuelling and was, at this time, ready for its final leg for Germany. Note the yellow and green flag at the co-pilots sleeve ! It speaks for the constructors nationality...German Capitain and Brazilian Co-pilot !
