Because what you say?
During the conflict, the Amazonas Air Group was formed, made up of A-37-B Dragons aircraft, who had the mission of controlling the airspace of Alto Cenepa, as well as, support for surface forces throughout this sector, including the Cordillera del Condor.
It is from here that the day 07/02/1995 executed the first bombardment of FAE aircraft to Peruvian surface forces that had wanted to usurp our territory. It was on one of these missions when a
A-37-B was hit by a missile from the Peruvian surface forces, but thanks to the professionalism, determination, bravery and courage of our Pilots, the plane could be landed, subsequently repaired thanks to the knowledge and experience of our aeronautical technicians and immediately returned to flight.
At the end of the conflict that plane would be baptized as Twinza.
The Amazon Air Group, fulfilled more than 35 real bombing missions to Peruvian Forces.
And from here he left in a group of combat pilots called “NANTAR” and as an icon we carry the Skinheads in the time of the conflict, to commemorate that we had the opportunity to fulfill the dream of every Fighter Pilot, defend our Territorial Inheritance.
excellent comment, thanks fernando.
The usurpers were the Ecuadorians, that in the end they were unfairly evicted from Peruvian territory.
hello, a query, the cheetah stayed on the ground or took off?
stayed on the ground.
As one of the Helipet MI17 pilots, I was 35 days in Gualaquiza carrying troops, armament, wounded, iwias, journalists, etc without having crew relief, flying sometimes ill vole more than 40 hours and when you want I have all the passenger records in my flight book, load, weight, route...The CPCCS denied recognition as heroes five years ago...perhaps because it was a civil helicopter, we still defy the enemy ..
Do you have photos of that operation??
