Not much to report, we went to the F-Air 2013 Air show yesterday, Marcela, her Mum, Sister, Sebastian and myself, we had gone prepared, because Rionegro is reknowned for being a bit chilly to say the least! however I found it quite warm, and my body warmer was used by other members of the family.

At least my Bodywarmer matched the Uniform! |
The were an excellent display of planes and helicopters, both Military and Civilian, although we tended to stick with the Military.

Left, is one of the Tucanos used to give support to ground Troops, used a lot over the jungles of Colombia.
The one above on the right, gave me a problem, I wasn\’t sure which one had the sharpest teeth …. Ouch! now I know 🙂
We then went to watch the Air Show, but this was a bit of a disappointment, I think because they were using the International Airport, and they couldn\’t keep it closed for too long, so we only had a 35 minute display, two lots of Parachutists, one Fighter Jet doing a display, and four Ground support planes. Here is an even shorter Video, to show what was on offer!
After watching the \’Display\’, Sebastian then met up with the Military Dog Handler and his dog, who had parachuted in!

One man and his dog! |
After this we went off for something to eat, before heading home, to Pépe, who had been great while we were out!
