| Each year, the Colombian air force celebrates its anniversary in Bogota on this date. This year, an interesting number of aircraft was put up for static display around 09.00AM, | |||
| whilst other aircraft could be noticed on the flight lines. During the official part, including a medal parade led by the Colombian President, two formations made three passes each, | |||
| consisting of six Kfirs and six T-37s. After the official parts, the guests were allowed to visit and admire the static aircraft. | |||
| Interestingly, SR-560 (a modified Ce560 with APG-66 radar) FAC5761 was the aircraft that aided in the interception of two Russian Tu-160s by FAC Kfirs crossing | |||
| Colombian airspace just one week before, on their way from Venezuela to Nicaragua. The aircraft has nine kill markings for narco-traffickers. | |||
