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.
