LV-X216: Morón’s eccentric MiG-15…
After 35 years of military service in Poland, a MiG-15 two-seat trainer found its way into private hands in Argentina at the turn of the century. After a short and eventful career in a country not prepared for the “warbirds” business, it got to rest in Morón’s National Aeronautics Museum. Let’s take a look at the career of this distinct representative of the Soviet side of the Cold War.
Argentine registrations (illustrated): LV-AYA to LV-AYZ
In a new shipment of this revisited section in Gaceta Aeronáutica, today we introduce a completely refurbished catalog of Argentine civil aircraft registered in the LV-AYA through LV-AYZ range. Much like the batch published in late September 2012 (LV-AXA/AXZ), this block spans three decades of Argentina aviation history, from the early 1980s to the mid 2000s, and contains several historically relevant aircraft.
Argentine registrations illustrated: From LV-AXA to LV-AXZ
As anticipated in our introduction to this new Gaceta Aeronáutica special section, we update and illustrate more profusely our listing of Argentine registrations in the LV-AXA to LV-AXZ range, spanning through nearly three decades of turbulent, traumatic and erratic Argentine aviation history from the late 1980s to the first decade of the 21st Century.

Lima Victor register illustrated
Reviving, updating and spicing up a project inherited from our forerunner, Pista 18, we are pleased to introduce a brief summary to the history and operation of the Argentine Republic National Civil Aircraft Register, from its first implementation in 1926 to the present day. This first story is both an introduction to, and the launching of, an ambitious project aimed at rescuing images and information on all Argentine civil-registered aircraft so as to present them in a graphically attractive layout illustrating the rich “aeronautical fauna” populating Argentine skies throughout the years.
