VERY SOPHISTICATED MULTI-PERSON SIMULATOR

This is something special !
A multi-unit simulator where every individual crewmember has his own 'seat' ...
...exept for both pilots. A doorgunner with heavy machinegun...  
..... for every individual crewmember situations can be created.... 
..... all in various degrees of difficulties...
 
.... and all with special and very sophisticated goggles...
.... in the 'helicopter' it seems as if they are just in one cockpit, in one machine. Each individual can have his own degree of 'trouble'.   
Train as you fight, fight as you train ! Learn to think ! 

A LITTLE VIEW ON HISTORY

Finally we were allowed to have a quick look at the airfields 'museum' , where a piece of Portugese aviation history is parked.
Reims-Cessna FTB337G Super Slymaster
Casa c-212 Aviocar
 
Fiat G-91
T-38 Talon
An old Alpha Jet
 
DHC-1 Chipmunk
The 'legendary' Corsair, stored in a hangar to be added to the 'History garden'. 
Phased out by now, but very nice to see it as a gate-guard.
