Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Cameroon Herc ?

Post by dinovandoorn »

Yup this is not a good picture... but this one was flying over Lisbon Saturday 14-10-2016 at 16:37 and landed on Alverca or Lisbon Int.
Is this a Cameroon Herc ? and does somebody have more info on this bird ?

Likely for Alverca. Have seen them before like that. Both making an approach to Lisbon and then continue on to Alverca, or actually landing at Lisbon and making the hop on to Alverca on Monday. Anyone knows where it landed this time?

Thx Guys for the great help ! that is an hot piece of hardware and I am very happy with the identification :-)
It lowered the wheels a bit later compared to the civil planes... so I expect Alverca as it is a bit further away ?!
