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.

Base visit Beja 601 squadron "lobos" 28-8-2018

Post by seahawk12 »

After 1,5 year i managed to get an invitation to visit air base Beja and 601 sqn. Start that day on Schiphol 5:45 hour take off to Faro, around 8:00 hours (local time) arrival and rent a car. 150 km and 1,5 hour later i came to the gate of base 11 Beja. On the ramp of 601 sqn. two orions (14807 former 300 dutch navy and 14808 former 304 dutch navy) . In the hangar 14809 (former 306 dutch navy). One orion was at OGMA and the last one i don't know and the pilot who was showing the base did not know. After a nice visit to 601 sqn. we drove to the dump area. After that the A-jet 15201 was seen some were on base and the gate guards (T-33, T-38 and german silver F-104). Plenty of time before returning home (flight from Faro to Amsterdam 20:00 hours). The weather was good, 32 C. A quick drive (In Portugal the roads are very quiet) to the coast and a dive in the Atlantic Ocean and a burger and beer on the beach. Nice day and nice visit. Back on Schiphol airport 23:00 hours. Some photo's ... (later more)

Nice little visit indeed!
Do you have an overview of what you saw on the dump? I'm still looking to tie up some missing numbers from my visit in May to Beja.
Thanks in advance.
