Work brought me to Lisbon, and I added some time to spot on the Monday and Thursday. Also nice was that the hotel my company arranged was right in the approach for runway 03, which meant a few morning shots were possible.
At the airport I spotted at an overlook on the west-side of the airport. Nice place, but a bit tricky to find. Also, being June, the light was a bit harsh and heatwaves could also be a challenge.
Anyway, time for some pictures:
1. During the days, I came across several Azores Airlines Airbuses, like this A321-200NX CS-TSH:

2. Pretty nice to capture an ATR72 of Royal Air Maroc Express:

3. In short order, two Falcon 50s of the Portuguese Air Force landed, including these 17403:

6. Lisbon is A330-900 heaven, with TAP being the main operator. CS-TUK is flying in the Star Alliance-livery:

7. Private A109 9H-MPR swept in from the city:

9. In the past, TAP Express used to fly with ATR72s. They retired them but is now wet-leasing one from Xfly, this ES-ATK. Ironically, this one used to be operated by TAP in the past:

19. Quite disappointing was that TAAG is using a HiFly A330-200 nowadays. I had hoped to catch a proper liveried B777 from them:
