La Fuerza Aerea Uruguaya / Uruguayan Air Force Sole Jet Fighter

The sole jet fighter in the Fuerza Aerea Uruguaya "FAU" is the Cessna A-37B Dragonfly. Built as a more powerful attack derivative of the T-37 primary jet trainer, the A-37's operate alongside the PC.7's at Durazno. Their operating unit is Escuadrón Aereo 2 de Caza, part of Brigada Aérea II as well.
A total of 16 has been received which of course suffered some attrition since introduction in 1976. 275 depicted here is part of the original batch of eight orderd in 1975.
