This blog doesn't pretend to be some kind of "spotter's blog". In fact, many of my aviation stories are yet to be narrated. I just don't have time to post other things than photos across European airports while I'm trying to conciliate my studies with flying...

Airbus A320 CS-TNV & Pico Island
Pico Airport, March 2010
Today, I completed TAP's medium haul fleet, flying the A320-214 CS-TNV "Grão Vasco". This aircraft was the latest addition to the fleet and the only one that was missing in my logbook.
From the current fleet, I have flown a total of 19 A319's, 17 A320's and 3 A321's. CS-TNA, CS-TNB, CS-TNE and CS-TNO, now phased out, also make part of that logbook. As a passenger I can add A330-223 CS-TOE and A340-312 CS-TOA.
CS-TNV it's just about the same as the other new A320-214s recently added to the fleet.
Matrícula: CS-TNV
Modelo: A320-214
MSN/CN: 4145
Nome: "Grão Vasco"

The other remark of the day was 'my' first landing at Pico, a small Island in Azores archipelago, dominated by its impressive volcano, the highest mountain of portuguese territory.
I remember how fascinated I was by volcanos in my childhood and when being a volcanologist was an option in mind.
First, some pictures of the really small terminal of Pico Island Airport:

and now from the huge and beautiful mountain!
After take-off, I managed to take some pictures from the air... Amazing sight!
One thing I have to do in life is definitely to climb this mountain!
