Of the three aircraft captured in the image, only 0742/5-T-21 msn. 11150, remained in operational service at the time. Meanwhile, 0741/5-T-20 ms. 11145, had already been stripped of part of its components, reflecting the gradual decline of the fleet.
As for 0740/5-T-10, ms. 11147, entirely devoid of markings and wearing its characteristic “all-white” appearance, it seemed to have regained a measure of dignity whilst sheltered inside the Ezeiza hangar, where the faint titles of “Armada Argentina” could still just be discerned beneath the paintwork.
The photograph, received quite by chance through an acquaintance connected to the aviation world, ultimately became a small documentary testament to the final years of these historic naval F-28s.
