Phew - glad they made it 
I listened to most of this on Lisbon APP via Live ATC - crew sounded pretty calm in view of what happened but repeated that they needed to remain VMC and had severe control difficulties.
A big thank you is due to the Portuguese F-16 pilot who was exemplarary. Very cool and spoke slowly and clearly as the language barrier was not helping. The write up is going to be something !!

What does that flight path tell our experts here?
Elevator issues I guess? Noticing the constant left turn/corkscrews I wondered about rudder, and/or engine thrust....
But what a harrowing ride! So glad all safe.

According a friend in Beja AFB, some crew guys are receiving medical assistance due some minor issues...wow, what an hell of a rollercoaster.
People around Santarem area (district around Alverca, where it departed) reported a strange plane in the sky doing some sharp turns and weird ups and downs....that above graphic tends to confirm it,,,,great air manship and awesome team work by portuguese ATC, Portugal AF and Scramble F16 pilots.
FPL towards Minsk at Belarus for a stop onwards to Kazak. She did a C-Check at Alvercas OGMA and it was the ferry flight to its base, six onboard.
Pic by Rui Cambraia just after landing at LPBJ...later ill try to post a video of her "crazy" landing.

No Acceptance Flight ?
So they set off on their ferry flight home with six people on board without anyone having conducted an acceptance flight ?
Anyone know if that's normal ?
