We will fly on any plane!!!
The Technical Mission that has been entrusted by the Paracuaria Air Force to Ciro D. Fox was the training of personnel in the handling of old aircraft, in addition to brief but important directives on the importance of flying close to the ground or trees, with the minimum flight speed so that the device remains in the air... A trick and maneuver unknown to our aviators. I (vision and anecdote of our protagonist, the cartographer) was sent to photograph the event, obviously I handed all the photographs to my superiors, but I managed to make several copies as a souvenir and this is one of them.
I remember that Ciro was very surprised by the plane, since it is much older than the one he was piloting. Until that moment he had flown a Spitfire Mk22 from 1942. The plane they prepared for him was a Deperdussin Monocoque from 1912, 30 years older than his own!!!... Being an experienced aviator, he quickly learned how the device worked, and he told the participants this surprising phrase, with his peculiar accent: We will fly on any plane!!!, then he began to teach the course to those present.
We had trouble understanding our airman's hierarchy, as they are ranks with different names for both nations, and we simply used the equivalent of his seniority and position at the time. He had no problems, it had no importance to him.
I managed to take this photo minutes before the initial takeoff of the newly restored Deperdussin and it remained as a memory that I cherish with great affection!!!...
