A Portuguese Casa 295 at Schiphol

Casa 295M 16701 of Esquadra 502 'Elefantes' of the Portuguese Air Force made a tank stop at Schiphol Airport earlier today. 


16701 was on a mission to the Baltic States and used Schiphol as a stopover on the way from and to Portugal. The Portuguese Air Force has 12 Casa 295's, 7 in the transport role and 5 in the maritime patrol role. 16701 is the first of the C-295M's delivered to Portugal and is one of the transport aircraft. An unusual feature in the Portuguese C-295M's is their nose-mounted radar. This is usually not found on the transport version. 



It was not the best light this afternoon but I'm happy with the results.
