The rugged airframe of the EH-191 incorporates crashworthy and damage-tolerant features, including a five-blade main rotor and four-blade tail rotor. This enables the EH-191 to withstand a lot of punishment, both from the elements as well as man-made threats. The rugged design also makes the EH-191 able to operate in almost any weather conditions. With the rough and varying climate in Northern Europe, this is crucial for the NDC’s Whirlwinds.

There are times when we force ourselves and a we don't even notice that we are already hurting ourselves.
Everyone, try not to work too hard that would actually compromise your health!

At the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed two new Supersonic bombers, the Backfire and the Blackjack, all of them with range to attack the Southwest of Europe.
At that time, Portugal operated the Vought A-7P Corsair II, an old subsonic strike bomber. Against the new bombers, the Corsair was a complete anachronism.
Portugal received 20 brand new F-16s A Block 15 with all the latest advances to allow it to be modernized as soon as possible.
The Portuguese F-16s arrived in 1994 and operate from the Airbase of Monte Real in the centre of Portugal, which allows them to be in any part of the country in a few minutes.
The Portuguese people are very proud of their F-16s.
All the F-16s were modernized with an MLU (Mid Life Upgrade) to extend their capacities, including JDAMs, laser guided bombs and AMRAAMs. 25 extra planes were later received for a total of 45.
With the reduction of threats in 2010, the Portuguese Armed Forces decided to reduce the quantity of weapons and maintain a small group of very well trained and capable systems. Therefore, 12 will be sold to the Romanian Air Force and the remaining 30 will be upgraded again.
For many years, the F-16s patrolled the peaceful skies of Portugal. Then in end of 2014, two Russian bombers decided to do some "tourism" to the south of Portugal, which led to two F-16s taking off to give them a nice “warm welcome”. Two days later, two new bombers made another attempt to see the sun and beaches of Algarve… but the F-16s were again there to receive them.
At the same time, two other Portuguese F-16s flying over Estonia forced a Backfire and a Su-34 to return to Russia.
About the MOC:
The plane was built for an exhibition that I did some days ago in the Portuguese Air Force Main Facility in the town where I live.
Hope you guys like it!

There were some insane waves down at Land's End last weekend crashing into the cliffs with incredible force. I had one camera body set up on a tripod shooting the lighthouse and another handheld for this section of the cliff near Sennen Cove. I took this one handed on continuous shooting mode while holding onto the other camera with my other hand, so I was pretty glad to get this image :-)
It's kind of funny to me how this figure is in such similar colors to the original yet still looks a lot different. I really like the gray gun they gave this one too.

The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known to all the world as the “Thunderbirds”, are the Air Force’s Ambassadors in Blue. They represent the 500,000 men and women of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft. The Thunderbirds squadron is composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel.
The Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the two solo aircraft highlight some of the extreme capabilities of the F-16. In all, the pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a single demonstration. An aerial demonstration lasts 60 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for the ground show before takeoff.
During a typical season the Thunderbirds perform no more than 70 air demonstrations in 35 cities throughout the nation. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets.
Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Arizona. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet. The team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak in 1955. In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis AFB in Nevada and traded the veteran F-84 for the world’s first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre. In early 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but after only six shows returned to the F-100. In 1969 the team transitioned to the F-4E Phantom and then in 1974 to the T-38 Talon, a more fuel efficient jet. In 1983 the Thunderbirds began flying the
F-16 and continue to do so. - Was a huge thrill on a magnificent day!
