Remarks: Stored since 2004, inside an hangar far away from the spotter's cameras, this was the first allowed visit since it stopped flying... It must have been really awkward for a president to get inside an VIP aircraft through a cargo door!
Remarks: Ready to taxi for take-off, after supporting two Eurofighters (11-01 & 11-05) that came to Lisbon to participate in the 57th anniversary of the Portuguese Air Force and the 100 years of aviation in Portugal!

Remarks: 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!
