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.

EU/Africa summit - 9 December in Lisbon

Post by ehusmann »

A couple of times each year I travel to Lisbon, but usually I don't spend time at the runway. The Portuguese aviation scene is not too big and the traffic in Lisbon is also not too much. But, this time it was different! 7/8 and 9 December the EU/Africa summit was helt in Lisbon. I only heard this a couple of days before leaving, but still in time! After arriving I could talk my girlfriend into spending some time at the runway..... here is why:


First, some nice Military and Government visitors

A Mali Government BAC 1-11!!! I can't even remember when was the last time I saw a BAC 1-11 taking off...... and my girlfriend couldn't believe the thing actually had hush-kits installed! :worship:

Some other bizzers:

And of course the usual TAP ones, including one of the last in the old colours :@(: :

And because this one is soooooo good :happy: !

I hope you all like them! I sure did!

You bet yah!!!

The log is here, although I wouldn't call it a full log. Planes were already leaving when I arrived (hence, the unread AMI A319), but at least I got some of the action!

No I didn´t see the PH-KBX. But it might have been there. If you search on A.net for Lisbon on the 9th of December, you can get a feeling of the full traffic. There was much more that had already left when I got there. Maybe the PH-KBX was there as well.
