A bunch of old planes just sitting around an airport in Portugal. Two F-86 Sabers, what looks like an old Junker JU-52 a DC-6 and a C-54 Skymaster. Also if you pan north you will see a bunch more planes.

Nice find. I concur on the Junckers. But B 29? They seem a bit small compared to the Junckers.
What about a DC-6? Check this website for an overview of Portugese airforce material.

That is the Museu Do Ar (Air Museum) in Alverca do Ribatejo. They don't seem to have a web page though.

Yup I do belive you are correct, they are DC-6's. It seemed to me that they had the round nose of b29's but thats just an illusion from the blurry images. From the info that its part of a museum display I looked around .. just north there appears to be 15 mothballed jets and if you continue north there are 5 more old jets on display.
EDIT one is a DC-6 the other is a C-54 skymaster.
