Asas de PortugalFormed in 1977, all the team pilots are instructors serving with the Air Force Academy in Sintra. Asas de Portugal performed throughout Western Europe until the mid-1980s when they were stood down. They later reformed in 1987, initially with four Cessna T37Cs before increasing to six aircrafts. However, the loss of one of the team's T37Cs in December 1990, due to airframe corrosion, led to the team's disbandment. The Force Aerea Portuguesa has taken the decision this year to reform the team once again, this time with ex-Luftwaffe Alpha Jets from Esquadra 103, performing their first public show in June 1998..
