Remarks: The last Aviocar in duty on the Madeira Air Detachment, from the Portuguese Air Force.
This day it delivered the mission to the C-295 and its crews.
Remarks: The Big Star of the day, surrounded by people, was the C-295 that now replaces the old Aviocar on the detachments at AM3 but for someone that grew seeing the Aviocar performing its missions at Madeira and Porto Santo, like me, it was time for the last shots and for a closer good-bye to this fantastic airplane.
Remarks: A rare sight at Madeira, in a pic soon to become historic: These 2 types of Aviocars will soon be off duty on PoAF, as their replacer, the C-295 already started to arrive at Portugal
