LV-AYE AR’s First 735 parked at Chivatos, next to LV-MLR. It arrived more than a month ago, and it is almost ready to begin commercial service. It is scheduled to fly mainly to GRU, but it will fly to GIG and SCL as well. A second 735 is on his way, and a third one should arrive before year’s end, while the rest of the fleet will arrive in the following years, replacing gradually the geriatric 732s. This particular 735 began life with Malaysia Airlines in 1993. Six years later, it was leased by Air France until mid-2004, when AR incorporated into his fleet. First pic in the database.

5-T-20 “Malvinas Argentinas” parked at the military apron. It isn’t common to spot Navy’s F-28 at AEP, since they are based at EZE.(Olympus C-740) (mehr von 5-T-20)
LV-ARF Vacating RWY 31 via taxiway 5. It returned in less than 2 hours, so he must have flown to a nearby destination, something not common to MDs. (Olympus C-740) (mehr von LV-ARF)
H-89 Parked at the GA apron in the early morning, sorrounded by many geriatric 732s and DC-9 (LV-WGU), plus a G-V (N524AN) and BBJ (XA-AEX). (Olympus C-740) (mehr von H-89)
CX-BON The second flight from MVD of the day. PU151 vacates the active via taxiway 5, as the Captain salutes me. In fact, I didn’t realize that he was doing that, until I saw the picture at home. (Olympus C-740) (mehr von CX-BON)

LV-WXG c/n 42-8001044. ex N4089T, I-CGTO, N325CA and ZP-TYZ. Built in 1981. Arrived from Sunchales, as it taxies to a remote stand at the GA apron. It seems to be a hot day at the ramp. (Olympus C-740) (mehr von LV-WXG)
XA-AEX “Nilambara” entering RWY 31, beginning his return flight to LIM, after a short visit to Buenos Aires. This is one of my favourites BBJ, since it comes to Buenos Aires at least once a year. The other BBJs in the world should do the same. (Olympus C-740) (mehr von XA-AEX)
T-110 Speeding up in RWY 13, powered by 2 Bastan VIA, producing 950 bhp each.. You can appreciate the design, which resembles the shape of a Condor. This plane really makes me feel proud that a time, not far ago, we could build great planes. (Olympus C-740) (mehr von T-110)
T-110 I spotted it for the last time many years ago, and I was wishing to spot it again sometime, and finally I had my lucky strike. This is one of the few aircraft designed and built by Argentine engineers, and it is one of the last examples still in flying conditions. This plane really makes me feel proud that a time ago we could build great planes.(Olympus C-740) (mehr von T-110)
