wow Santa Gertrudis looks like a perfect place for air combat maneuvers.
I can give yout his ones. I haven´t got any from AN 32´s launching paras, but a lot of them at the tarmac.Originally Posted by retrobob
I'd say Santa Gertrudis is Mexico's version of Naval Air Station Fallon (known to naval aviators as Strike University) in Nevada.
Does anyone know how many of the original 12 F-5's that Mexico purchased are still operational?
10 of them 2 were lost.
Yes, 10 of the original 12 exist, but not always fliying, they are rotated trhough maintenance leaving 7 yo 8 fully operational at all times.
Outstanding para. pics Wolfpack! Many thanks.
hey! the zapoteco is being deployed!
Buque "Zapoteco" de la Armada mexicana viene a Perú con ayuda
sábado, 18 de agosto , 2007 - 10:00:43
A bordo del buque viajan 140 elementos de la Armada de México, así como especialistas en medicina y oceanografía.
El objetivo es brindar atención médica a heridos y enfermos en Perú tras el devastador terremoto que golpeó a esa nación esta semana, apoyar en trabajos de electrificación y producción de agua potable.
El "Zapoteco" lleva consigo un helicóptero Bolkow Super Five y tiene la capacidad de transformarse en un hospital flotante.
Además del "Zapoteco", México enviará a Perú al buque "Usumacinta", que llegará a Acapulco el lunes y será cargado con material de construcción y otros tipos de ayuda humanitaria.
El "Usumacinta" viajará a Perú en el transcurso de la próxima semana.
Además de los dos barcos que envía la Armada de México, un avión tipo Hércules cargado con frazadas y cobijas, medicamentos y alimentos llegó hoy al país andino.

It´s balanced, no one is better than the other, cause navy ships will a rrive in a week or more, while the FAM Hercules and Army personel responded immediatly, but they won´t have the same plattform as being ona ship, so ebery one is up to it´s limits. Right now the Water treating plants are fully operational, as well as all the healing material and other help is being used by peruvian authotrities along with mexican army medics and engineers.

Well i wasnt saying that one is better then the other i am just saying that the navy gets to use there skills on navigating the vast waters more then the Air force can navigate the vast air. The navy went as far as the Philippines, but i am not sure if the air force did? But ya you probley are right, they probley are even but i must just hear more about the navy
yeh there is an obvious difference, the navy's used for giving humanitary help this time, as the army air force, but the conditions where they move are different...Well i wasnt saying that one is better then the other i am just saying that the navy gets to use there skills on navigating the vast waters more then the Air force can navigate the vast air.

I don't think honestly thhat one is better than the other, both are poor, but in some way efficient organizations, but they really need a bigger budget, they have the skills to do better things with enought resouces
I agree. They need to give the military some more money.
