Centennial of Argentine Military Aviation

Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:03 pm

Over 10-12 August 2012, was held at Córdoba, Argentina, the main ceremony remembering the Centennial of Argentine Military Aviation. The service was created by decree dated August 10, 1912 at El Palomar (Buenos Aires) but later the Escuela de Aviación Militar (Military Aviation School) was moved to its current location in Córdoba.

There were various preserved aircraft, as well as some A-4AR Fightinghawk (the latest version of the A-4 Skyhawk still in service with the Argentine Air Force) on display. Here are some images of those aircraft on display inside the Escuela, and also some that are close but on the surrounding roads:
