fulcrum Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) A great visit to the north of Peru last weekend. Cap FAP Guillermo Concha Iberico AB is home of the A-37 Dragonfly also so-called Sapito (Little Frog). Piura, lovely people and delicious food, a nice place u have to visit! Departing Lima in a Peruvian AF Hercules L-100-20 full of people! Working on A-37 and Su-25 previous to the show. Air Fest Briefing. More planes arriving... I hope u like it!

fulcrum Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Round 2. The main attraction was the Su-25 single seater in two tones of gray camo. Nice scheme right? Pretty proud ground crew was very happy with the new blue Frogfoot debut. Scratchbuilding Su-25 intakes and exhaust covers? J-Lo looking girl and fellows working on their Frogfoot. Peruvian Army took part with some units like this AMX tank. Bell 212 just landed. Edited April 27, 2008 by fulcrum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Interesting aircraft! Don't think I ever saw one of those before. I hadn't either, but the P-3 Orion Research Group site has quite a bit of information on it.
