Just back from a visit to FIDAE in Santiago and would like to show a few photos Hope you don't mind.
I anyone had forgotten where they were Brazilian Air Force display Team 'Fumaca' with their seven Tucanos gave a good hint

It was rather difficult to take static shots due to people, fences, flags, signs, banners etc. Here is an overview of part of part of the static area taken from the stairs of a German A310.

Highlight for most people was probably the A380 display. And I must say it was quite impressive. Also the take-off from the narrow dusty runway made for a good show. Maybe one of the reasons for my many dustspots.

Another first for me was the Argentinean AT-63 Pampa.

It was not all airshow though; I also spend some time at the other runway shooting airliners. Even there you couldn’t avoid those military =censored=.
