Video Title :	FAE Video of the 10th Aniversary of the 1995 War
Description :	http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum The FAE was officially created on October 27th 1920. However, like in many other countries, military flying activity started before the formal date of birth of the Air Force. The history of Ecuador is marked by many skirmishes with its neighbour Peru. As a direct result of the 1910 Ecuador-Peru crisis the members of Club de Tiro Guayaquil decided to expand their sporting activities to aviation as well. Renamed Club de Tiro y Aviación they started an aviation school. Dn. Cosme Renella, an Italian emigrated mechanic and practical pilot who born in Secondigliano, Naples, was the first intrepid willing to fly in the first airplane brought to the country. Surviving a crash during this demonstration flight, Renella named by the Ecuadorian authorities with a "Capitan" rank, went to Europe to gain more experience during the first World War. When he returned to the country, his experiences served as motivation for a reduced group of Ecuadorian pilots, who moves to the Aviation School in Turin, Italy, with the objective of graduating as the first Ecuadorian pilots of the nascent Ecuadorian Military Aviation. Aviation did not start in earnest until the early forties when an Ecuadorian mission to the United States resulted in the delivery of an assortment of aircraft for the Aviation school at Salinas. Three Ryan PT-22 Recruit, six Curtiss-Wright CW.22 Falcon, six Fairchild PT-19A Cornell and three North American AT-6A Harvard arrived in March 1942, considerably boosting the capacity of the Escuela de Aviación at Salinas. The fifties and sixties saw a further necessary build up of the air force, gaining more units and aircraft. Meanwhile efforts were made in enhancing the facilities at various airbases. In may 1961 the First Air Zone (I Zona Aérea) with its subordinate unit Ala de Transportes No.11 was founded. The Second Air Zone (II Zona Aérea) controls the units in the southern half of Ecuador: Ala de Combate No.21 at Taura, Ala de Rescate No.22 at Guayaquil and Ala de Combate No.23 at Manta as well as the Escuela Superior Militar de Aviación (ESMA) at Salinas.

The air force has a unique mixture of types on its inventory, mostly from Western origin. The prime fighters are the Mirage F.1, Kfir C2, CE, and Jaguar Mk.1 all based at Taura with Ala 21. For advanced training and light attack missions, Strikemaster Mk.89, 90, and A-37B are in use at Manta with Ala 23. These aircraft often operate from airfields in the amazon region. The transport wing uses various marks of the C-130 Hercules, DHC-6, BAe.748 to transport passengers, haul cargo and support the units deployed to the secondary airfields dotted around the country. Ala 11 has its own 'commercial' branch, like in many other South-American countries, the Transporte Aérea Militar Ecuatoriana (TAME). Besides the military transport aircraft, they also use Boeing 727 and Fokker 28 aircraft. Flying to locations off the beaten track, mostly lacking service by commercial airlines, TAME provides an additional service to the people of Ecuador. Presidential transport is among the tasking of Ala 11 as well; several Sabreliners are in use for this mission. The FAE saw action on several occasions. An unending and constant history of border disputes with Peru over the south-eastern Cenepa area saw escalation in 1981 and 1995. The FAE managed to down nine Peruvian aircraft in this last conflict, among which were one A-37B, two Su-22 (claimed but not confirmed air-to-air shot down) and several Mi-8. Besides the constant, unending threat of its southern neighbour, the conflict believed being "subdued" by the 26 October 1998 Brasilia peace treaty, the FAE faces the war on drugs as well as many humanitarian and logistic missions into the Amazon region of the country. Being a small country, supporting the relatively large, but obviously necessary, air force with a variety of aircraft types, is a burden. Nevertheless, with the perils of the recent past and present War on Drugs acting as an incentive, the FAE is dedicated to maintain a necessary high profile against northern and southern threats.

Los Ecuatorianos no somos Gallinas como ustedes que salieron a esconderse en los arboles en la guerra pero los Ecuatorianos cogen sus machetes y palos y van al ataque Y esto esta comprovado desde los tiempos Incas cuando ganamos la guerra con ustedes .cuando Atahualpa nombro a Quito la nueva capital Incaica Tambien en los tiempos de la revolusion fuimoslos primeros que Gritamos por la libertad Nosotros no somos tan gallinas como ustedes que fueron los ultimos en tratar de independisarse okjaja

Parece que todavia estan los que reclaman lo que jamas les pertenecio. La guerra fue dentro del Cenepa y el Cenepa esta dentro de territorio Peruano. Pues entonces quien invadio a quien???

El conflicto solo defendia los intereses economicos-petroleros del general Moncayo. Por eso él organizo toda esta trifulca, sin importarle el pais para nada.El inicio la invasion y luego huyó cobardemente.

!Viva Ecuador¡ nos somos hermanos de peru sudamerica solo estara unida cuando los invasores peruanos devuelvan lo que lo que no les pertenese

una frace mas ridicula todos los ecuatorinos deberiamos estar avergonzados de esta absurda guerra que solo le sinteresa a las grandes transnacionales fabricnates y traficantes de armamaneto a costa de la pobreza de nuestro pueblo matar es dignidad? dios que verguenza

no sientes orgullo por los heroes que pelearon por tu libertad? mejor quedate frio broder, respeta a esta gente y no hables weas...
