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 F16s 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.
