Obstacle Course

The runway has a huge upslope east to west. The west end of the runway is full of antennas with supporting wires reaching all the way to the runway edge. On the aproach end it is full of windmills so a continuous turn from base to the treshold has to be made.

Actually it's a grass runway and quite hard to spot if you're not familiar with it.

Information

The information I have listed a private agricultural airstrip having existed at this location, and stated that it been closed for some time. Judging by the look of the terrain, if an airstrip did indeed exist here it has been completely destroyed by now. Also as I couldn't find any pictures of the airstrip that I could compare to the terrain, the location may not be 100% accurate; all I had were some coordinates pointing to this spot.

Information

Public non-certified airfield located on the top of the 'Serra da Lousã' (Lousã mountain range). It is the highest airfield in the whole country, sitting at a respectable 1190m (3,900 ft).

Not used much by private pilots, the airfield sees use essentially as an aerial firefighting base in the summer months. Has a paved runway in fairly good condition.

Small private airstrip right next to the A1 motorway and very close to the larger airfield of Fátima-Giesteira. In average condition.

Information

Probably the most important base of the Portuguese Air Force, since it is home to the 2 interceptor squadrons that the country's Air Force has; both equipped with F-16's.
