Hi to everybody!

I want to share a video regarding this year anniversary of the Venezuelan Air Force´s transport squadron (C-130HV & Y-8F200):
Enjoy..


Best regards to all!
Thanks for the video. Interesting to see PLAAF aviators observing their operation in the video (3:20 in Y-8, 6:50 in C-130).

p.s. What's with that heavy "smoke" in the C-130 cargo bay?

The new advanced training aircraft Argentine IA-63 Pampa III, which recently made its first flight could be operated Fuerza Aérea Argentina in the (FCC) ahead of schedule, "even if the first flight was carried out with 12 months behind schedule. The test flights were more than satisfactory. "

To believe the source of the Ministry of Defense of Argentina, the development of Pampa III would have been facilitated by some of the solutions suggested by Israeli engineers, probably of Elbit Systems, the device using new avionics developed by the company Haifa . Compared to the previous version, the Pampa III is powered by a more powerful engine, the Honeywell TFE731-40-2N 16.5 kN thrust.

This third generation is also characterized by the absence of British systems and components to bypass the conflict that still opposed Buenos Aires to London. The Pampa III can also be used in attack floor version with a maximum payload of 1 500 kg vs 1160 kg for the previous two versions. The FCC has ordered 40 Pampa III whose first units could be operational by the end of 2016 service.
