Remarks |

Is there a better way to return home after spending the weekend in an aviation safety forum in central Portugal than flying in formation for some sunset pictures?... In the back there's Tagus River and it's last two corners before reaching Lisbon, where it meets with the Atlantic Ocean.

Resting after another day of challenging flights at Hot Blade 2012 Exercise... a few hours earlier, I had the fantastic opportunity of flying in an insertion/extraction mission with four of these Austrian Bells, with some air-to-air shots in the mix. Thanks a lot guys, you rock!!

Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX) with some 5 meters waves right behind and hitting the cliffs below the Merlin. I was onboard this SAREX and after we simulated a rescue with a navy ship we headed for this Cape and they dropped me here... after another hoisting operation they landed back in the cliff and picked me up for some high sea operation... an awesome flight!

First ever Full Special Scheme (besides tail arts) on a Portuguese F-16! And what's the better way to show it to the world? I tell you... by performing one of the most spectacular low passes that i have ever seen! This paint scheme celebrates the 50 years of the Monte Real Air Base, and this photo was taken during the Spotters Day. Ps: Check out the F-86 painted on top of the F-16's fuselage... Congratulations to everyone involved in this project!
