Later, in the Independence day parade we watched the Tucanos doing a very nice presentation in Brasilia.. what picture could be more Brazilian than the first one? The Patrouille de France also made a smoke passage in French colors, as they where visiting Brasilia too, but didn´t do the aerobatic routine for some reason.. a bit of a letdown, but like they say, c´est la vie!
Also a replica of Santos Dumont´s 1909 airplane was happily flying around.. it is incredible that he used to travel around Paris using this machine at that time and he was able to take it to the field disassembled in the trunk of his car.
