Re: Monte Real 23th May.
Would anybody know if there is any transport arrangement for the open day on the 23rd? Like shuttlebusses from Leiria or Monte Real town? I am trying to go there, but by public transport from Lisbon I can find options only as far as Leiria.

In the end not a very big event, not even all Portuguese types were present, but it did give a good number of F-16s.

This one was exhibited on the main square Praça Rodrigues Lobo. It was clearly a temporary exhibit, so will probably not be long here.
