The Gaceta Aeron\u00e1utica editorial team is basically integrated by Argentine members, albeit with an exclusive addition of international character. Our staff of correspondents and contributors resides not only in Argentina by in other nations where the website has more readers and visitors. This allows us to be closer to them as well as to obtain first-class information which is of interest to our audience.<\/p>\n

Carlos Ay, Senior Correspondent \u2013 CHILE<\/h3>\nCarlos Ay (Santiago de Chile).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in March 1962, Carlos developed his interest in aerospace while following his father\u2019s career as an engineering officer with the Argentine Air Force. After residing in several air force bases in Argentina and abroad, at the age of 17 he created his first aviation bulletin, \u201cAeronoticias Mensuales\u201d (Monthly Air News, one edition, 1979).<\/p>\n
After a short stint at the C\u00f3rdoba air force academy, he started writing more or less regularly for a number of national and international publications such as \u201cModelos & Colecciones\u201d, \u201cMaster en Modelismo\u201d, \u201cAviaci\u00f3n Argentina\u201d and \u201cAlas de Am\u00e9rica y el Mundo\u201d (Argentina), \u201cJP4 Mensile di Aeron\u00e1utica\u201d (Italy), \u201cAir Forces Monthly\u201d and \u201cAir International\u201d (United Kingdom), \u201cDefence & Foreign Affaires\u201d (USA), \u201cLe Fana de l\u2019Aviation\u201d (France), \u201cBolet\u00edn de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea\u201d (Uruguay), etc.<\/p>\n
Yet his greatest contribution to Latin American aerospace journalism probably was developing, coordinating and contributing to a number of independent regional projects, including the \u201cAir Information Group\u201d, \u201cAviaci\u00f3n Latinoamericana\u201d, \u201cLatin American Wings\u201d, \u201cLAW en Castellano\u201d and, ultimately, the respected magazine, \u201cPista 18\u201d. In the 1990s, he went on to start a number of Internet projects, including \u201cAeromilitaria Argentina\u201d and a remake of \u201cPista 18\u201d, as well as the short lived \u201cArchivo Pucar\u00e1\u201d and \u201cVuelo Rasante\u201d. Most of his work is being revived, updated and republished in Gaceta Aeron\u00e1utica.<\/p>\n
In addition to his past, present and future contributions on Argentine military aviation, Carlos is our Senior Correspondent for Chilean aviation, provides innovation and technological advise for the evolution of Gaceta Aeron\u00e1utica and is initially coordinating the English version of the site.<\/p>\n
Esteban G. Brea, Senior Correspondent – ARGENTINA<\/h3>\nEsteban G. Brea (Escobar, Argentina).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Born in September 1982, Esteban\u2019s first contact with aviation were Argentine Air Force Mirage IIIEA supersonic fighters flying-by over his home in Bel\u00e9n de Escobar, 50 kilometres North West of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
Given time and a little time, he started attending military open days, aerospace expositions and aviation museums, thus increasing his enthusiasm for anything aviation-related. In addition to experimenting with plastic and scratch air modelling, he went on to graduate as a mechanical technician at his home town\u2019s \u201cHip\u00f3lito Bouchard\u201d high school.<\/p>\n
In adult life, he was an Argentine Air Force academy cadet candidate and graduated as an aeronautical administration expert from \u201cUniversidad del Salvador\u201d in Buenos Aires. In addition, he got his private pilot license in 2007.<\/p>\n
After a few experimental contributions to \u201cVuelo Rasante\u201d, he went on to earn himself a distinguished career as an aviation writer and photographer producing contents for aerospace and defence sites such as \u201cPista 18\u201d and \u201cDintel-GID\u201d and defence, security magazine \u201cAres World Defence and Security<\/em>\u201d (all in Argentina), and Air Forces Monthly (United Kingdom).<\/p>\n
Gaceta Aeron\u00e1utica is pleased to count Esteban as its main \u201con the terrain\u201d military aviation correspondent in Argentina, often leading a team of fellow correspondents to a variety of events and sites both in Argentina and abroad. A number of his reports, though, are beginning to turn him into a high-quality historical researcher too.<\/p>\n

He is also a frequent contributor to a number of aircraft photos on-line data bases and portals.
