First a shot of the wonder that was the reason for my trip to Cochabamba today. CP-973 Curtiss C-46 Commando Lineas Aereas Canedo

Then an other wonderful machine, and this one actually brought me from La Paz to Cochabamba. CP-1366 Boeing 727-200wl Lloyd Aereo Boliviano/Aerosur

Although I didn't manage to catch a flying Commando the trip was a great success as we were able to attend a ceremony at the Politécnico Militar de Aviación in Cochabamba.
One of two new helicopters presented was this orange beast, FAB-754 Aérospatiale AS.350B3 Fuerza Aerea Bolivia

Three PC-7s made a few passes, here two of them, FAB-467 and FAB-471 Pilatus PC-7 Fuerza Aerea Bolivia

Also a few older helicopters made fly-bys, first FAB-730 Helibras HB.315B Lama Fuerza Aerea Bolivia

And also the surviveing Venezuelan gift, FAB-747 Sud Aviation SA.316B Alouette III Fuerza Aerea Bolivia

Here the both disappear behind the threes only to return for some more fly-bys

A couple of instructional and preserved frames live at the Politécnico. Among those, this 'thing' FAB-311. Any ideas what that is
