Buenos Aires, Argentina
A few days ago I bought from one of my friends a used Olympus Evolt E-500. From April 30 to May 2nd, the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Argentina Air Force) celebrated its annual open house show, so I went on May 1st and took the chance to take some photos. This year we got the chance to enjoy the show given by the Brazilian Aerobatic Team "Fumaça", since this is the 200th anniversary from one of Argentina's most important days in history, and they came to participate in the celebrations.
These are my best shots from that day, so I hope you enjoy them.

I was lucky to meet a few of the Fumaca guys at Fairford 2008, they had left Brasil on the monday before the show arriving on the friday then sat on their hands all weekend because the show was cancelled due to bad weather and they left on monday to arrive back home in Brasil on friday !
Really nice guys to talk to.

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra m�d,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra m�r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Thx for posting! - I lived in Rosario for a year, so Argentina has a special place in my heart.

You can see the Pulqui II at the museum (Museo Aeronáutico Nacional - National Aeronautic Museum) located in Moron Air Base (SADM), in Buenos Aires.
