If for this there is heavy traffic of military and civil aircraft

A detail:

There are 2 Fokker F-28 that are of the Agrupacion Aerea Presidencial, the T-02 and the T-03, are for exclusive use.

The other F-28 are owned by the Air Force and fly to Argentina LADE and other functions. Ie military transport planes are flying for the Argentine Air Force and LADE.

A Fokker F-28 TC-55 led to the remains of N. K. to Elcalafate.

MinDef Garré signs agreement of intent with Brazilian MinDef Jobim over participation in the Embraer KC-390 project

11/1/10 - Negotiations with Brazil have begun in order to define the extent of Argentina's eventual participation in the production of the KC-390 transport aircraft. Also discussed were plans for the eventual purchase of six KC-390s, subject to Argentina participating in the program

Also, the Gaucho off-road utility vehicle was confirmed to be ready for series production. Brazil will be tasked with providing the engines and Argentina will produce the chassis.

MinDef source here. Good news if followed through. More cooperation with other countries is a good step forward.

I agree, I hope this is the beginning of many more. If all the South American countries pool their resources they could build some very capable equipment for all the services, Army, Navy and Air Force, that would better fit their needs and budgets while retaining local knowledge and experience.

A day in the life of a P-3 Orion crew

8 hour, 2100 nautical mile round trip from Tierra del Fuego to Antartica and back, conducting maritime patrol and search and rescue training, and overflying Argentina's San Martin and Marambio bases on the continent.

I'm sure this will bring back fond memories for Ordie

Navy says farewell to the Alouette III helicopter after 41 years of service.



The Alouette III naval helicopter will be retired this week after 41 years of service and 45,000 flight hours with the Argentine Navy. Originally purchased to replace the Sikorsky S-55, the Alouettes served aboard all the major surface ships of the navy, fought in the 1982 war, and was a common sight at Antarctic bases.

And will be replaced with?

Probably with nothing. And if the ARA is lucky enough, with some AS-555 Fennec.

Are they going to get the ships without helicopters?
