For almost six decades starting on 26 August 1947, Don Torcuato International Airport<\/strong> was a burgeoning civil aviation entrepreneurial project supporting the second largest air traffic operation in Argentina. Hosting a number of maintenance businesses, aircraft and helicopter dealers and flying schools (as well as renting hangar space for a large number of civil aircraft), the airport was the nation\u2019s first privately-owned international airport and was best known for its airport code DOT<\/strong>. Celebrating its 40th anniversary<\/strong>, airport owner Aircom S.A.<\/strong> organised an air show on the 29-30 August 1987 weekend. The static display<\/strong> contained Aerovida (then a newly-formed medical emergencies operator) FH-1100 LV-JTW and UH-12 LV-JAM, El Palomar Technical School Pazmany PL-4 LV-X86 (also flying) as well as private Bonanza B35 LV-LSF, Cessna 414 LV-JPZ, Flightstars LV-U-028 and LV-U-121, FW-44J Stieglitz LV-YYZ \u201cHans J.
