Watch Argentine Presidential B757 Pull Off A Low Level Stunt On Arrival At Buenos Aires
The Argentine “Air Force One” made a crazy low level pass over Buenos Aires airport.
Late in the afternoon on May 25, 2023, the Argentine Air Force
took delivery of its new Boeing 757-200 in VVIP configuration.
The aircraft, sporting a patriotic livery that recalls the Argentine flag, took off from Miami, U.S.,
and arrived in Argentine capital Buenos Aires,
as ARG-01 (“Argentina 01”).
Before it landed at Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery the aircraft made a low pass over the airport.
But as shown in several videos posted online,
the new Argentine Air Force One performed a low pass
that was probably much lower than one might expect,
especially considering the weather in the area,
that saw low ceiling, rain and a thunderstorm.

The aircraft, a Boeing 757 registered as ARG-01, was seen arriving at DAL from Salina Regional Airport (SLN),
a regional airport in Kansas where, according to planespotters.net data,
it was stored between March 31 and May 17, 2023.
According to ch-aviation.com data,
the Rolls-Royce RB211-powered Boeing 757 was initially delivered to Iberia in April 2000
and was used by the airline until 2005.
Between 2005 and 2022, Fun Air, a manufacturer of inflatable water toys for superyachts, owned the aircraft,
which was registered as N757AG.
The company now owns a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 737, registered as N737AG.
C&L Aerospace helped the government of Argentina to acquire the VIP-configured Boeing 757
in exchange for the country’s older presidential 757.
According to a statement issued by the company on April 13, 2023,
it completed the sale of the new aircraft to
“the Secretary General of the Presidency of Argentina for the purpose of presidential travel”
by taking the existing presidential Boeing 757 “as a trade”.
According to C&L Aerospace, the new aircraft can seat up to 39 passengers, and features a bedroom and two other rooms.
The previous presidential 757, registered as T-01,
was delivered new to Fuerza Aérea Argentina (the Argentine Air Force)
with a pair of Rolls-Royce RB211 engines in July 1992.
C&L Aerospace is now selling the “low-time” 757 in an as-is condition.
