On display in the terminal of Carrasco, Montevideo's airport, is this restored Castaibert 80 hp. Uruguay's military aviation school used five Castaibert aircraft, all with different hp-engines built by French engineer Paul Castaibert, between 1917 and 1919. This particular example was built in 1916 and won the Buenos Aires - Mendoza rallye in July 1916. It was retired in December 1919.
