Hello, good afternoon
I just found this report and its videos.
equally, I have had the opportunity to fly on several occasions in the aircraft of the Mexican Air Force, for work, and by invitation, Well, I'm in a medium specialized in aviation in Mexico..
On 2018, I had the opportunity to fly in the only Boeing 737-200 who operates the FAM, which brings a half executive configuration, with a leaves together and half passengers.
The plane is still operational, but if you have reduced your flight hours.
I have had the great opportunity to fly on the B727-100 and -200; /37-200 and -800; in C-130 Hercules; C-27J Spartan; HOUSE C-295; King Air 90 and in different rotary wing aircraft, all occasions under express invitation to go and see military air bases, special events or at Air Parades organized on Mexico's Independence Day. And the objective is always to raise graphic and audiovisual material to make reports and share with the public.
excellent report sir. Larenas.,
Thank you very much for your contribution and comment.. Nice to meet a colleague from Mexico. Greetings.
Showing these photos to the public I don't think is a good idea so showing critical points of Taura before publishing you must have special permission and I don't think you do
Hello Vero, I understand that your point is because Taura is a FAE base, but I tell you that the invitation was like press and we were authorized to take photographs. What's more, I invite you to put on Google Maps with satellite view, you can see all the details of the base on the internet.
Yes, those engines are powerful from Taura to Quito in less than 3.5 minutes lol….. excellent video that nostalgia that view of the wing: flaps, ailerons spoilers and especially the reversers, how they miss the little pigs and the 727….
Hahaha thanks for your comment
An excellent commercial plane, some companies still use it for their comfort and safety. Venezuela
