I am working on this and it should get finished in the next few days. Please be patient and don't delete it in the meantime. Thanks.

There we are. I think I've brought it beyond a stub now. Working on finding some good pictures. Guinnog 20:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

gives me the right to post images here so long as they are credited.

Would I be right or wrong?

I'm going to post one anyway as it needs an image; maybe you can advise me if I've misunderstood.

I'm working on a version of the national insignia and should get it done tonight or tomorrow. I'm only learning Illustrator!

Naming conventions

[edit]

Units, formations, and bases[edit] Shortcuts: WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME WP:MILMOS#BASENAME An article about a unit, formation, or base should be placed at "Name (optional disambiguator)". The name should generally be either the official name used by the armed forces to which the unit or base belongs; or, in cases where no relevant formal name exists or where a formal name is not commonly employed by historians, the most common name used in historical literature.

from Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Military history#Units, formations, and bases

Therefore all units and bases should be in Portuguese primarily a la: 

Esquadra 81 - (81 squadron) or possibly Esquadra 81 - (81 squadron)

Article move

[edit]

I have reverted the name of the article back to English as I cant see any reason why a non-English term should be used. Raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history for sanity check, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 12:40, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are sane. Definitely the English version. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:43, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft: Current inventory

[edit]

The article's Current inventory of aircraft section has incorrect data from Flightglobal's World Air Forces. I recommend that multiple sources be always used when possible for aircraft inventories and that the data is cross-checked.

  1. The F-16 version is designated as the AM, since it received the MLU;
  2. The F-16 twin-seat trainers are also combat-capable and used as such;
  3. The PoAF no longer has a total of 38 F-16s in service;
  4. Portugal's NH-90 purchase has been canceled for quite some time now;
  5. The NH-90 was never intended for the PoAF, but instead it was intended to be operated and owned by the Army;
  6. The Dassault Falcon 50 has been removed from the list but they are still being operated by the PoAF in the VIP transport, MEDEVAC and organ transport missions;
  7. There are 3x C-130H and 3x C-130H-30 in service, totaling 6 (not 5) C-130s;
  8. The Alpha Jet is no longer used in the light attack role.

Best regards, Get_It (talk) 01:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Data from Flightglobal's World Air Forces is once again being strictly used as a sole source for the aircraft section, thus leading to the removal of also sourced content and the addition of aircraft not in service and "on order". I have to disagree with only Flightglobal being used as a source and with the inclusion of aircraft "on order" as per the arguments given on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 155#RfC: Aircraft inventory table on air force pages.

number of P-3C and C-130

[edit]

Below is comparison on information on Portuguese Air Force (PAF), WAF, scramble.nl and other source:

PAF page

  • P-3C: 5 [1]
  • C-130: 3 C-130H-30 and unknown number C-130H [2]

WAF 2020/2019

  • P-3C: 4
  • C-130: 4

WAF 2018/2017

  • P-3C: 5
  • C-130: 4

scramble.nl (per 16 April 2020)

  • P-3C : 5
  • C-130 : 5 (3 C-130H-30 and 2 C-130H)

other source

Can we agree that total number of PAF's P-3C is 5 and C-130 is 5? Ckfasdf (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Beforehand, I'm sorry but given the current situation I'm overworked and tired to properly help out with this subject. When it comes to the P-3C, I believe that, regardless of maintenance schedules, the count of 5 is correct. Regarding the C-130 fleet, one aircraft was lost and w/o while another airframe has been "sidelined" for a long time; but the count of 5 makes sense given the "in service" context. Now, can we agree that WAF is not a reliable source by itself? Best regards, -- Get_It (talk) 00:25, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
