• I advice you to add content here in one or two days, or it will get speedy deleted. Punkmorten 18:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks Punkmorten. I've had a busy week at work but have been assembling some content which I'll put up tonight. It's 'advise' btw.Guinnog 19:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

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)

• Thanks. As you can see I moved it, and it turns out it's got many incoming links. Important topic, thanks again for the work. Punkmorten 21:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Punkmorten (or anybody else!), I am of the opinion that:

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!

Thanks Guinnog 22:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

• Done! Pics and insignia added! Guinnog 00:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Naming conventions

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

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)

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

Aircraft: Current inventory

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.
