PICTORIAL OF '70 (The Air Force Day Argentina in 1974)
With the help of my friend, photographer and modeler modeller Raul plastic Hrubisko, who generously gave "your photos collection" for "my photos of planes " , you can remember this historic moment in our Air Force Argentina.
In all honesty, Raul does not remember exactly the authorship of the photos, but remember well that it was an Air Force person that won, since at that time was very difficult for a civilian photographer, approaching military aircraft , especially at such a deployment.
In summary, this presentation is nothing more and nothing less than the last and biggest stop / air military review held in times of Democracy, August 9, 1974 in the former VII Brigada Aérea Morón .
Day next August 10, was celebrated central Air Force Day on I Brigade of Palomar, with a stunning aerial display.
On both occasions (9 and 10 August), the acts were preceded by the then President of Argentina, María Estela de Perón and the then Chief of the Air Force Argentina, Brigadier General Héctor Fautario.
Well, I hope you like it and some blog readers may be surprised Air Force ones we have.
not want to dwell on personal considerations, but many years have passed since that 1974, too serious political and economic events have happened in our beloved country, including war, Malvinas. Everyone can do their own thinking and thinking, especially that, think and remember.
