This Monday, F-16 fighter jets flew over Buenos Aires as part of the commemoration of the 114th anniversary of the creation of the Military Aviation School.
The activity was organized by the Argentine Air Force, which celebrated a foundational date for the development of military aviation in the country.
The event included a large operation that combined an aerial passage over different sectors of the Federal Capital with a land parade in which members of the institution participated. In total, the deployment included more than 30 aircraft, with the F-16s as the main protagonists of the day.
The maneuvers began at 9:45 and extended over emblematic points of the city, including the Obelisk, Jorge Newbery Airport, the North Coast, and the River Monumental Stadium. The activity generated great anticipation, especially after the announcement made by the Air Force on its social media.
“If you like planes, you can't miss them. Get your cell phone camera ready and all your excitement to hear... the engines roar,” the institution expressed in the invitation directed to the public.
The aerial display was part of a commemorative day that also included an official ceremony, led by the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Alberto Presti, and the head of the Argentine Air Force, Brigadier General Gustavo Javier Valverde.
