Hello,

Perhaps a bit off topic in that case i'm sorry...
But looking at all these reports, i'm wondering if any of you have experience spotting at this base.
I'm thinking about going on holiday overthere ( with a little spotting.. :wink: ) And perhaps some of you like to assist me, with some (travel) information ?

Thanks in advance,


Rene

Many thanks for your very helpful A-10 log, Oscar01. Unfortunately, none of my five Warthog News contributors from Portugal had the opportunity to take any related shots at Lajes Field.
