Wrecks & Relics
Since 1984 a G91R marked as 5457 was pole mounted at the Air Force Academy at Sintra. This could not have been the original 5457 (c/n 464 )
as it crashed on 18 February 1981, after an explosion which killed the pilot. In 2017 the Sintra aircraft went to Ota for restoration, allowing its
construction number to be checked. It has c/n 341, making it ex German G91R/3 30+79, which was delivered to Portugal for spares. (Ota, 24
