Bogota (Colombia)

Colombian Independence Parade

16-17 July 2016

A flypast took place over the Colombian capital of Bogota, to commemorate the national Independence Day on 20 July.      
This is an annual event, although it alternates in size and between Colombian cities. This year, the event took place in      
Bogota, with sizeable formations of army, navy and police helicopters included. As usual, it proved very hard to obtain      
reliable information about the event and its participants beforehand. Rehearsals took place at Palanquero, about      
150km north of Bogota, whilst most aircraft and helicopters operated from Bogota-El Dorado and arrived one or two days      
before the parade. The formations, with a total of 86 aircraft and helicopters, followed Avenida 68. The following were      
noted at Palanquero and El Dorado in the days leading up to the event; note that not all aircraft seen were participating in      
the parade, and included several spares.
