(13/8/2009) After two years of heavy (not to say "complete") inactivity, Aeromilitaria Argentina, the Argentine military aviation site, springs back to life renewing its contents, editorial orientation and graphical layout. Celebrating our first decade in cyberspace, we updated the site so as to re-invent our project to become a complete reference about the past, present and future of Argentine military aviation. True and loyal to our detailed and meticulous style, our next phase will be focused on editorial content providing our visitors with a long-term historical perspective which will go beyond the short-term view proposed by most modern media.

Modern technologies, however, will not be absent from our project. Quite on the contrary, we expect to exploit many of the marvelous gadgets proposed by Internet to convey a dynamic yet informative and educational message. As our visitors will notice, starting on this very front page, embedding of multimedia components (YouTube videos, PicasaWeb photo galleries, etc.) will become a distinctive feature of our "second decade". We will also continue to enlarge our photo galleries at prestigious aircraft photo data bases such as MyAviation, Airliners, AviationCorner, JetPhotos and Airfighters. Lastly and additionally, we will also feature a Facebook wall and Twitter presence.

Our 10-year old editorial line will be adjusted to attain our contents strategy. Reference sections will evolve into a primarily modular and tabular layout. This will allow our visitors to navigate through a hierarchical data base up to the point where their interests and curiosity will be satisfied. To prevent computerized overdosing of our readers, those pages will refer to brief (or not so brief) and less structured stories about different aircraft, entities, personalities and events in Argentine military aviation history. Last, but not the least, several of our pages will be translated into English in order to allow their reading by visitors with limited command of the Quixote's language.

Our greatest challenge is to restore our contents update rate. Just like we did until October 2007, we expect to publish at least one update every month. We also hope to be able to review all of our pages every three years and to incorporate a discrete yet constant number of new pages over the same period. On line with the World's economic outlook, 2009 promises to remain a slightly "under productive" year. Yet, with the dawning of 2010 and Argentina's bicentennial anniversary, we are planning to return to the production tempo of happier times.

Meanwhile, and as a token of this renewed compromise, please accept our first year 2009 update to the Air Force fleet page...
