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.

Haha...after a long drive.....With fog (80km a hour on the highway...) and a huge traffic jam on the bridge to Lissabon, I arrived late in the morning at Sintra. I only stayed for one hour, flying was good. 5 active epsilons and 2 Chipmunks. (and another Epsilon on the tarmac)

I left at 12 o'clock to get my other planned planes...

The museum at Alverca was free to visit ( I thought it was closed but some friendly soldiers let me in....). When I was inside I heard a C-130 at the field but couldn't find it when I was outside.

On my way back to the Algarve I also visited Beja, only one Alouette came in...no picture no reading....it was already 17.00hrs...so I left.

Thanks for your info!!
