AUDIO: on the radio, a Fumaça Squadron pilot delivers an aerobatic dedication; listen

A dedication made over the radio by one of the Esquadrilha da Fumaça pilots before presenting the last aerobatics, moved the public that followed the Domingo Aéreo, held at the Air Force Academy (AFA), in Pirassununga (SP), on the morning of this Sunday (1st).

The event is one of the most anticipated in the aviation sector in the country and delights audiences of all ages with acrobatics, flyovers by cutting-edge military aircraft, such as the Super Tucanos of the Esquadrilha da Fumaça and the new Gripen, and various interactive activities on the ground.

For the first time, g1 São Carlos e Araraquara, in partnership with EPTV, a TV Globo affiliate, broadcast the Esquadrilha's stunts live. At around 12:30 pm, EPTV broadcasts the Domingo Aéreo Especial program, lasting two hours.

During the live broadcast on g1, EPTV reporter, João Victor Néo, was accompanied by the captain of the Esquadrilha da Fumaça, João Paulo. Arriving in the final minutes of the presentation, he interrupted to warn that one of the pilots had a message for the audience.

"The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and the Esquadrilha da Fumaça dedicate the next maneuver to all those who follow the Air Force Academy's Air Sunday, whether here with us in Pirassununga (SP) or in their homes on television: FUMAÇA NOW!", he said via radio.

Captain João Paulo explained that the pilots try to leave, in written and drawn form in the sky, their affection for the public.

"All the affection, the appreciation that we have for the attention, for those who accompany us, for those who follow us. And all the dedication that we put into, I say this, the Brazilian Air Force, in general, everything that we dedicate to the population, to the Brazilian people, we try to symbolize in this last stunt, to leave the heart drawn in the sky", he stated.

Shortly, six pilots participated in the last aerobatics of the first demonstration of this Air Sunday and drew a heart in the sky. In an interview with g1, Captain Bezerra had informed that this is one of the most anticipated by the public.

To carry it out, three planes make a turn to one side, while another three make the same turn on the opposite side.
