Beside the Mexican independence parade on 16 September,
the anniversary of the Fuerza Aérea Mexicana on 10 February
is another great opportunity to watch Mexican military aircraft in
action. A parade was held over BAM5 Zapopan near Guadalajara,
home of the Colegio del Aire, the air force academy. Guest
of honour was President Felipe Calderón, accompanied by his
Secretary of Defence. The event featured around seventy aircraft;
about half of these were visitors from other bases. Aircraft
started to arrive about 3 days prior to the parade to participate
in rehearsals. The Herks operated from nearby Guadalajara
airport, while other aircraft landed after their performance, and
their locations may have changed during the day. Viewing the
parade from the static area and parade grounds was hindered
by backlight, but the airfi eld has a few good spots near both runway
ends as well from where decent pictures could be made.
