The arrival of the six new F-16 fighter jets It was one of the highlights of the long weekend, especially for those who were able to enjoy the low flight over the city of Buenos Aires. Now a new video has been released that shows the experience from the first person: it shows how the passage through various symbols of Buenos Aires was seen from the cockpit of one of the fighter planes.
Filming takes time a little over 2 minutes and the camera shows a wide angle shot of the pilot and also part of what he sees, including the other aircraft that accompanied him on his journey.
For example, you can see how they enter the city from the RÃo de la Plata and how they fly over Avenida 9 de Julio, the Buenos Aires highways, Plaza de Mayo and other emblematic points such as the river and the Boca Fields.
This Saturday, the F-16s purchased from Denmark took off from RÃo Cuarto shortly before 7:30 a.m. and flew towards the city of Buenos Aires, where they made a low-level flight and then returned to the city in Córdoba.
Minutes after 8, the fighters began to fly over the city area. The exhibition lasted seven minutes, during which they performed along the Costanera Norte, crossed the Plaza de Mayo, Avenida 9 de Julio and the National Congress area.
Hundreds of neighbors gathered in different parts of the city, mainly in the Plaza de Mayo and at the obelisk, to watch it pass at an altitude of about 700 meters.
Then they began their return to RÃo Cuarto, where the award ceremony took place in the presence of Milei and her sister Karina; the chief of staff Manuel Adorni; and Ministers Luis Petri (Defence), Diego Santilli (Interior Ministry) and Pablo Quirno (Foreign Relations) as well as other members of the government.
One of the planes had a distinctive emblem on its fuselage: the head of a lion in the colors blue and white. It is the symbol that Milei has adopted as a personal brand since his presidential campaign. The drawing, located near the booth, is a replica of the logo that identifies the president and was highlighted at the official presentation.
