Benavente
is a airfield located outside Benavente village at approximately 70 km from
capital city Lisbon, in Portugal. It has two paved dirt runways, and the
facilities include; bar, flight school, maintenance hangar, fuel depots, storage
hangers and several leisure spaces.
It
is known to be one of the biggest airfields of its kind (ultralight aviation) in all Iberic peninsula
and it is also known for the excellent airmanship amongst the aviation community,
and well as the sympathy with which they welcome visitors.
Recently
I had the opportunity to pay another visit to this magnificent place, this time
for the commemoration of the 4st anniversary of Portugal spotters association.
It
was a very pleasant day with lots of movements and countless aircraft to be
photographed. Also a surprise was the appearance of; two aerobatic aircraft, a
crop duster and a fire bomber! Wow! Unfortunately my photos of some of this
aircraft were ruined L!
Without
further due I leave you with some of the moments captured by the camera.
Thank
you for your visit,
Paulo
