The Christmas spirit is steadily advancing and it can be said that it is taking to the skies with Argentine military qualifications: this Saturday the Air Force released one Christmas message for the aviation family and he did it through an edited video in which Santa Claus appears on board a ship Sled pulled by F-16 tactical aircraft who recently purchased this military weapon in Denmark. “I wanted to wish all of you, who are the true owners of the air, a Merry Christmas,” the gift bearer says into the camera.
The problem began, strictly speaking, hours before, this Friday evening, when in the Cóndor building of the General Staff of the Air Force (EMGFA), and more precisely at its helipad, a Christmas concert. The musicians of this military branch and other invited musicians gave concerts for the visitors, mainly from the military ranks. Most of the pieces on display had Christmas motifs and the institutional message that was conveyed live to those present was not ignored.
“Control tower, this is Santa Claus “Please allow us to land,” asks the popular Christmas character with hints of artificial intelligence, with his usual red habit with velvety white piping, his handlebar mustache and an aviation device in his right hand.
But Santa Claus needed time before landing and that was reflected in the video broadcast on Friday at the Christmas concert in the Cóndor building (in the Retiro district of Buenos Aires) and broadcast this Saturday afternoon on the official social networks of the Argentine Air Force (FAA) to greet the entire military aviation family: “I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to all members of the FAA and all members of the FAA.” I congratulate them on deploying the new F-16 to defend the skies of the homeland.
“You are the real ones Owner of the air“, concludes Santa Claus in the video, which then paves the way to images of the ferry flight that transported several F-16s from Skrydstrup Air Base in Denmark to the Río Cuarto Material Area in Córdoba, with stops in Zaragoza and the Canary Islands (Spain) and Natal (Brazil).
The videos of the crew of the six aircraft that arrived in the country on December 6 as part of a larger purchase that includes the acquisition of a total of 24 tactical aircraft – all F-16 models – were broadcast by the official FAA media, although the videos shared this Saturday in the Christmas greeting differ in some details: In the middle of the flight Fighter aircraft You start with the accompaniment first and then the accompaniment pull the sled in which Santa Claus traveled, and together they float through the air, pass in front of the moon, fly over the obelisk.
At the end of the concert #Christmas took place on the helipad of the Cóndor building #ArgentineAirforce He announced a very special greeting that we will share on this occasion with the entire large aviation family.

“Happy Holidays, Aviation Family!” shouts the man with the presents at the end of the video. Then it flies alongside the F-16s and replaces them on the plane with a plaque with the official seal of the Argentine Air Force and the same legend (“Happy Holidays”) on Christmas tassels, bells and shiny baubles, bows and gifts. No less brilliant were the pyrotechnic traces that bore the flag of the military weapon.
