Two Portuguese Air Force F-16 fighter jets conducted 'touch-and-go' maneuvers (touch and go) at Madeira Airport on Monday.
The operation, which attracted the attention of those near the airport, was captured by the YouTube channel 'Madeira Airport Spotting'. The maneuver involves approaching the runway, touching down, and taking off again without completing a landing.
According to gathered information, the operation is believed to be part of a military exercise. The use of F-16s in the region is not unprecedented, with the Air Force regularly conducting operational and training flights in Madeira's airspace.
