Thanks for looking.

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.

That is one great selection there

All those gorgeous little Northrops

Thanks for posting

Fantastic location & opportunity, brilliant lighting & superb images! Very impressed by your selection & thanks for the gift of off-season viewing!

Jonouk, Could say a little about the ups and downs of the visit, as it may help for future trips?

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.

Amazing set of pictures, such a treat to view aircraft from a completely different part of the globe in perfect detail.

Can only echo what others have already said - fantastic set.

Great subjects, some lovely light and superb photography - most enjoyable viewing.

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing set of pictures

Great to see 85-0102 is still going strong

Superb set! Thanks for posting, nice Christmas treat!

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!

Just catching up with photos on here, and WOW this has to be, without doubt, the best post I have seen on here in a long time, just superb!

Wow, stunning photos!!

A great selection of types and images.
