Buenos Aires was the setting for one of the biggest sports celebrations in history. Different sources reported that between 4 and 6 million people gathered yesterday to witness the passing of the bus carrying the Argentine National Soccer Team and thus have the opportunity to be close to their idols, who on Sunday won the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
As it usually happens, the epicenter was the Obelisk, in downtown Buenos Aires, which gave some of the most spectacular images in memory.
Aviation, through the Argentine Air Force, also made its presence felt, organizing the fly-by of two IA-63 Pampa and two A-4AR Fightinghawks over 9 de Julio Avenue.

In the afternoon, through its Facebook page, the Argentine Air Force shared a spectacular video of the low-flying flight performed from the cockpit of one of its aircraft:
Finally, due to a security issue, the Argentine National Team had to suspend the caravan and did not pass by the Obelisk. Aviation was once again present as the players were evacuated in helicopters: Argentina’s National Football Team, rescued by helicopters
