About the pilot
The uniform may be hung up. The viewfinder stays close.
His aviation path stretches from the Portuguese Air Force (1981–1988) to an airline career with TAP that began in July 1988 and culminates in his final working flight home on 13 August 2026. This space will become his personal archive: part photography portfolio, part logbook and part family tribute. His own images and words will make it entirely his.
