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.

Lajes May 2022 (CIV/MIL)

Post by MikeRomeo »

Hi everyone. It has been years since the last time I made a post here on Scramble.
At the moment I'm calling Lajes my "home airport" and I'll be publishing here, monthly, photos to illustrate some of the aircraft that transit at Lajes.
Feel free to make questions.

Hi Rui,

It seems you mentioned 164892 2 times on both waves of 2 and 3 June.
Could there be a slight mistake ?

You're right! I've checked the photos that I took on the 2nd and found it. So it's confirmed that 164892 (DR-207) landed on the 2nd. .
PS: only recently I found out that I had to look at the horizontal stabilizer for the serial...

Hi Rui,

Sorry for my late reply, but many thanks for your information!! I saw them flying over my house both days.
I checked the June topic as well by now.
