Beja International Airshow, 2nd-3rd July 2022, Beja, Portugal

[JackWills28]

Evening all,

With the RAF Typhoon Team announcing their participation at this airshow, it got me wondering where on earth this snuck from?

Also listed are some nice French assets according to here - https://www.air-shows.org.uk/2022/04/ai ... port-2022/

Cannot find a link to the airshow however; any help?

I see it has now dis-appeared from the Scramble Airshow List

A shame

I contacted the Portugese Air Force PR officer. Because on 70 Anos website with info about 5 open days is no info of the air show. Also All operational bases are open except Beja. https://www.emfa.pt/p-856-prtaf-70th-anniversary%20


Answer from PR office is there is a public air show at the 3th of July at Beja. No mentioning of the July 2nd, maybe it is not open to public.

More info from the air force and airshow to follow soon.
