Hi,

Lynx MK95A 19201 Portuguese Navy on upgrade

Have any of you locals seen this again since? Hoping to catch this before it upgrade complete. Not seen it plot at all, so presume had no flights.

Any info on it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

If it helps Greek CL-415 2049 was at Naples Airport Thursday 5.10.23 morning. It was not there on 7.10. when I flew back to the UK.

Thanks for this info, big help

On Thur pm (at 14:35 on my camera) a Greek CL-415 flew over the base heading east. Bit blurry, but looks like 2049.

Did anyone else see & photograph it? It wasn’t plotting from what I could tell.

Thanks if anyone can help
