Return to Palma (by Chris Smith)
Myself and a couple of old school pals had been planning a lads holiday for a while and I insisted on Majorca as I had many fond memories of Palma Airport from family holidays as a child before I was a 'proper' enthusiast and I've long wanted to return.
This was not a spotting trip though and I had to respect that, but luckily we picked the Palmanova Hotel, located in the resort of the same name, and from here and the nearby beach, you could see r/w 24 departures or 06 arrivals at a distance of 2 miles, and as it turns out, logging aircraft from a beach makes for a pretty damn good hangover cure!! All bar one day 24 was in use.
Aside from a couple of American biz and a tech Hawk T2, there was just the usual stuff in at Newcastle, good thing about an early morning flight is you find the airport at it's busiest with all the night-stoppers still on the ground. Brand new A321 G-TCDF was our ride, it was absolutely gleaming both inside and out and the flight could not have been any smoother.

Although I new this would be the case, Palma is not the airport I remember it as, gone are the days of Condor, Hapag Lloyd, Iberworld, Spanair, DC-10s, MD-80s etc etc (at least in their classic form), as well as an overall drop in movements due to holiday makers favouring other Countries after Spain moved to the Euro. Despite this, I still felt a sense of nostalgia and was damn glad to be back. Air Berlin dominate here and easyJet and Ryanair both have bases, so add in the usual Brit holiday airlines and you sometimes start to wonder if you've ended up at Manchester by mistake. One of the first things to stand out on arrival was the amount of 737s sporting the new Aviation Partners Boeing "Split-Scimitar" winglets, with Sunwing, Thomson and TUIfly all in the process of retro-fitting their fleets with the unusual design.
I foolishly expected to make half of the Iberia short-haul fleet whilst in Majorca, but I soon realised the mainline division of Iberia no longer operates to Palma, their flights now split between Vueling and Iberia Express.

Danny Banks of NEAM group fame, tipped me off about a yacht with a ZK- registered helicopter on the back in the main Palma harbour, I was hoping to find time to go and see it when it came to me instead! The yacht appeared around lunchtime and came to rest in the sea in front of us for the rest of the day, they took the Squirrel out for a spin around mid-afternoon but sods law I didn't have my camera on me.

I managed to find a couple of hours to do some proper spotting as I'd always wanted to visit Son Bonet Aerodrome, located just four miles north-west of Palma Airport, Son Bonet was the original airport for Majorca back in the day and is now a GA field comparable in size to Gamston. Like most of Spain, the first thing you notice is the Germans have taken over, with the first three aircraft I saw being D- registered! It's a very multinational airfield with companies from several European countries represented including Sloane Helicopters from the UK.
When you arrive, there is a security check-point immediately at the entrance but you can simply walk through this. Visiting one of the companies should gain you an airside pass so long as you have your passport but unfortunately with it being a Sunday most of the companies were closed-up, strange given most GA flying takes place on a weekend! So I could only log what was outside as well as the far right hangar which had windows, although the four aircraft that were in here were in various states of disrepair as was the hangar itself, so I'd say they'd long since been abandoned.
I'm surprised Palma Airport is such a biz-hub as with little effort Son Bonet could easily 'clean up shop' in this area.
There is a big sign stating no photography is permitted here, I feel I could easily have gotten away with some but being in a foreign land I wasn't prepared to take the risk.
I noted the King Air on short finals from the taxi on the way home, but we were too far away from Son Bonet at that point so I figured it was going in to Palma Airport but my taxi had no reason to be anywhere near there so I've included it below.
A big thanks must go to Danny Banks for his help with spotting at Son Bonet.

Despite it being time to go home and not wanting to leave, going to the airport is always the most anticipated part of the holiday for me. I checked-in and then made the short walk out of the terminal to the biz ramp which sods law was unusually deserted, so I logged the few that were there and made my way through security. Once through security, we had breakfast, before heading to the gate, normally you have a fair whack of time to sit at the gate logging from the windows, but sadly we boarded straight away and we were in the British section so the few aircraft that were visible were of little interest, so I did leave feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
