Llega el 757 presidencial y antes de pisar suelo argentino sale este MAMARRACHO.

Parece que no fue suficiente con el 737, los aero kumpas siguen demostrando falta de criterio amparado por el poder.

The low cross of the brand new Boeing 757 of the Argentine Air Power has generated combined reactions. On one facet, aviation fanatics have been thrilled by the efficiency; on the opposite facet, many have firmly criticised the stunt. Argentine fight pilots are used to fly ultra low level,  particularly aboard tactical quick jets however, on this case the maneuver appears to be a bit too “aggressive”, thought of the altitude, the climate situations and, above all, the dimensions of the plane. Some have additionally identified that the aircrews pulled off their “show” on the finish of a protracted ferry flight from the U.S., and fatigue may need been a factor too.
