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.

502 Squadron Elefantes - Portuguese C-295

Post by Jorge Ruivo »

The Elefantes Squadron 502 was created in 1978, is currently based in Montijo Air Base and operates the C-295 M Persuater, but the roots go back to 1937, with 32 Squadron at that time operated the Junkers JU-52 in 1971 receives Nord Atlas and C-212 Aviocar arrive in 1974. The mission of the Elefantes is linked to the implementation of the air transport, search and rescue, maritime surveillance, reconnaissance and aerial photography as well as the statement of operations browsers. I should mention here the strong contribution of the elephants in the execution and support of humanitarian missions. The photos posted here are referring to the last visit I made to the Elefantes Squadron at Montijo air base.
