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.

Hey guys

Yesterday was a great day over Monte Real since the Portuguese Air Force offered the opportunity of a Spotters Day to many people!

Here are a couple of pictures, hope you guys enjoy it :wink:

Nice! But that Orion, did it come in after all others had returned in the late afternoon?
And do you know if the EH.101 that flew during lunch time was the same that flew with the mission exercise between 14.00 and 17.00?

Affirm! It was the last airplane to land! After shutting down it eventually restarted and departed once again!

I'm not sure about this one but I would bet that it was the same!

If there was only one on base than it must have been. The one at lunch time just flew around and landed again.

Thanks!

Nice pics Paulo. Too bad your logo in the pictures is (way) too big for my taste.

The logo ruins the photographs indeed but I just love the old camo on the Herc!
Nice series.
