Thanks for sharing these with us, an absolutely stunning selection of shots, so much variety too. Hard to pick a favourite amongst them, nice to see the Tucano in the retro Brazilian scheme. It's certainly brightened up my Christmas and I can think of someone who's going to love those Northrops.

What a fantastic set of images. The Paraguayan Air Force Aviocar is probably my pick of the bunch but the bar has been set very high with this selection! Terrific work.

Fabulous set not just for the content but photo quality too. All gems but the F-5s are the stars for me too. Many thanks for taking the time to post.

Quite possibly the best executed and most interesting series of shots I have seen on here for a very long time!
Damn fine effort from the OP and the Brazilian Air Force!
