Pillan 111 taking off from its homebase El Bosque, where it flies with the Escuela de Aviacion (aviation school).

Awaiting things to come in the ENAER maintenance hall, T-35DT 191 is a one of a kind Pillan with a modified nose and cockpit for greater visibility. In March 2000 it broke the speed record for aircraft in its category, reaching 382.5 km/h. The brand was recognized by the International Aeronautical Federation.

Chile was one of the very few military operators of the Beech 99A. Nine were delivered in 1970/71 and initially flown by Grupo 11 at Quintero, the last aircraft was finally withdrawn in 2010. 308 was placed onto the civil register in March 2000 as CC-KIW for operation by the Chilean Army Aero Club and sold to a private operator in November 2003 as CC-PLL. Registered in March 2005 to Mansfield Heliflight in the US as N391MH and returned to Chile as CC-CFM with Inversiones Aereas Patagonia (Aerocord) in January 2007. Crashed and destroyed shortly after take off from Puerto Montt in July 2008.

EX RAF XH166, one of three PR.9s delivered to Chile in October 1982. One was written off in May 1983 and the two survivors are with the Museo Nacional Aeronáutico y del Espacio at Los Cerrillos. 341 has been in the museums storage compound since at least 1996 and is still believed to be present there at time of upload.

A bit of a misty morning at Luton. There were several Chilean Air Force visits to Luton in 1982 just after the Falklands war. It is thought the UK repaid Chilean assistance with some arms shipments. Delivered new to the FACh as 996 in June 1973 and still active in 2024. Operated by Gruppo 10.
