Airplane took off from Madeira Airport with lightning ‘show’

A TAP pilot was forced to change routes. The moment was captured by Sílvio Silva.

The flight TP1690 operated by Transportadora Aérea Portuguesa (TAP) was faced, this morning, with a lightning and thunder show provided by the passage of the depression ‘Clement’.

The aircraft took off from Madeira Airport – Cristiano Ronaldo at 6:50 am, an atmospheric phenomenon that forced the pilot of the plane to deviate from the route usually traveled, as can be seen on the route using Flight Radar.
