Argentinian find

Postby cowpatz » Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:16 am

Found these by chance at Tigre which is on the Delta, at the top of the Rio de La Plate river, 50 km North of Buenos Aires, Argentina. They are sitting outside (unfortunately) a museum located there.

No I didn't go into the museum. We were pushed for time as had a local cruise to catch and then some cool beers needed attention after that.

Interesting... I guess like ours, the Skyhawk marked the end of their combat aircraft line.
Those American fellers doing aggressor training for the USAF must by now have a whole air force worth of 'em.

Must have been an early one as it doesn't have that hump on the fuse behind the canopy.
If Ian were still around he could probably quote the serial number!
