| After a nice but short night we started our travel from the apartments to El Bosque air base. Normally this takes |
| 20 minutes by car at most, but with the busy traffic in the morning it took us more than an hour to drive the 17 kilometres. |
| After the security check we were welcomed to the celebration of the Air Force’s birthday. It is a very nice and |
| impressive parade that finished with the overflight of some aircraft. After the parade we went to the airport where we |
| hoped to see the F-16s but sadly they directly left for their home base after the parade with a KC-135E that came back later that day. |
