The rare Chilean built T-35B Pilan, a propeller-driven trainer aircraft, is used by the FAD for basic flight training. Eight aircraft were delivered to the FAD of which 50% have been written off and two are more or less permanently stored... not a good score! During my visit in 2011, the fleet was in better shape with five operational aircraft. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
