[REAL ATC] Air Astana has SERIOUS FLIGHT CONTROL ISSUES!

The aircraft departed from Alverca Air Base (LPAR) where it arrived on 02/OCT/2018 for a Class C inspection/maintenance in the OGMA facilities. The aircraft landed safely at Beja Airport (LPBJ) escorted by two F-16s of the Portuguese Air Force that were scrambled from Monte Real Air Base (LPMR). Stay tuned for PART #2 which has some communications with these fighters. Weather was extremely bad in the area. METARs below.
