One of the novelties on parade, which was eagerly awaited by enthusiasts and the public, was the recently acquired Boeing E3-D Sentry AW-1, replacing the already mythical Boeing EB-707 «Condor», which has reached the end of its useful life.

In the same line, the F-16 and F-5 of the FACh also paraded.

Also present at the parade was the CASA (Airbus) A-36 Toqui, an aircraft that will be retired by the Chilean Air Force in December of this year.
