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.

Sintra: Museo do Ar

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hi again,

On my final day in Portugal, I decided to get myself a rental car for a quick drive up to Sintra Air Base to visit the Museo do Ar. This museum has a small but nice collection of, mainly, Portuguese Air Force aircraft.

Entrance is 3 euros and to photograph the aircraft outside you need to ask the frontdesk to be guided because you're wandering on the apron of the airbase itself.

A few shots from the collection:

1. Photography can be a bit tricky due to the aircraft being cordoned off, like seen here at this UH-19 9101:

2. The C-47 in the museum is wearing this DGA livery on the right side:

3. And TAP Air Portugal on the left-side:

4. 6403 is a N2502:

5. Quite the rare fighter jets in Europe, the A-7, like this TA-7 15550:

6. Falcon 20 17103 is on display at the second hangar:

7. Which also houses this SA330 19512:

8. And some other aircraft like this T-38 2605:

9. And G-91 5407:

10. Outside are four aircraft, three of which could use a bit of TLC, as demontrated by P-2 4711:

11. P-3P 14806:

12. And C212-200 16508:

13. But Alpha Jet 15209 is still looking quite OK:

Hope you liked the impression. You can find all pictures taken at the museum at: https://flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/ ... 004913637/

Cheers! :wave:
