Call me dumb but were abouts in the world is Lages?
Maverick, Lajes is one of the 9 islands of an archipelago in Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Quite a few amazing airplanes that we see around here :thumb:
Sweet you have some fantastic sights there :).
Ok seeing the photo of the AV-8B Harrier II has made this a very nice holiday destination for me :), not sure if the Girlfriend will be happy with that or not though :).

The last KC-767 shot is very nice! Great catch on the condensation in the engines!

Lovely to see the EP-3E too, I wish they still came through the Hall.

Its not blur on the fans, its water vapour condensing in front of the fan surface, and it is very cool!
Great photos of things we often don't see in the UK or only see high above as they pass over...
Cheers, Stig.

Brilliant work Paulo.
Keep these stunning images coming.
I used to really love my Nimrod days in Lajes.
