Summary

Description

Leeuwarden, 17 June 2006.

Asas de Portugal (Wings of Portugal) was created in 1977 to represent the Portuguese Air Force at the IAT at Greenham Common. The team operated the Cessna T-37C for 13 years. In December 1990 one of the team’s Tweeties crashed due to cracks in the wing. Inspection revealed that almost all T-37s suffered from fatigue, which led to the phase-out of all the airplanes.

In 1997 and 2001 the team was reactivated for a only short period with Alpha Jets. The Asas de Portugal were reactivated a third time in 2005, and deactivated again in 2010. Source: Wikipedia

All 50 Portuguese Alpha Jets are former Luftwaffe. Around 10 are still in service.
