LADE's rare F-28-1000 seen in service in Argentina on the first of five sectors this day. TC-54 is seen departing Aeroparque's runway 31 and turning south towards Mar del Plata. LADE is the military airline of Argentina (Líneas Aéreas del Estado), the flights are operated by the Fuerza Aérea Argentina. TC-54 was built in 1969 and is one of the oldest F-28s still flying. The flight took place on May 21th, 2015 and is seen from seat 11F. Unfortunately TC-54 only managed to complete 3 of the five planned sectors and ended up AOG in El Calafate in the afternoon. The return flight the next day was cancelled, too.
