| Manaus houses several units of the air force and army which means a varied static but also more than one ramp and several hangars. The army was on the opposite side and lower and the cargo ramp was out of sight too. The Blackhawk hangar was reachable although it was unclear whether this was allowed, but there were more civilians walking in and out there, so quite do-able and worthwhile because the identities could be checked now! More Tigers were probably parked in the large new maintenance hangar, two could be poled off with some effort after dusk because the lights were on in the hangar. Lastly, the cargo ramp, were the visiting Herk was parked, contained at least one EMB120/C-97. Needless to say, no public transport to hand at Brazilian airshows, so a cheap rental car comes in handy. | |||
