Excellent picture post from Lajes. You are certainly a long way from anywhere but a vital stop off point for the transit flights. You must get a fantastic aircraft variety and rarities!
Thanks again for posting, look forward to more :thumbs:

I think Lajes must be up in the top 5 spots for variety, and beautiful scenery as well - thanks so much for posting! :thumb:

Great shots and great you live out that way. BTw that DHC-7 is probably US Army ARL - / Grizzly Hunter. The original Army Recon Low - Grizzly Hunters DHC-7 were painted in red stripes and white all over over , kinda reminding me that it looks like TWA colors of yesterday!!

Cheers and keep up the great work :)

Great shots Paulo!

I was wondering if you knew which 3 Typhoons stayed behind and did not go on to the U.S.

Cheers!

The VC-10 and Raptors are excellent. Very nice back drop for them.
