Fidae, Latin America’s largest aviation showcase, is held every other year in Santiago, Chile. It is run by the Chilean air force, which converts hangars into exhibition centers while apron space previously dominated by transport aircraft and helicopters is handed over to fighters, bizjets and airliners from across the world. This year’s show, March 29-April 3, enjoyed a significant contribution from the U.S. Air Force, which brought the F-22 Raptor to participate in the flying display, and included the Peruvian air force for the first time since 1994.
