After yesterday’s post of the Mexican Air Force’s Texan II, today we shift focus to the Navy’s fleet of Beechcraft T-6C+ Texan II aircraft. While the T-6 Texan II serves similar purposes for both the Air Force and Navy—advanced training, light attack, and close air support—there are some key differences in their roles and deployments within the Navy (SEMAR).
SEMAR began acquiring these Texans in 2014, with 13 units currently in service, all decked out in the Navy’s distinctive two-tone grey camouflage. These versatile turboprops replaced the aging Valmet L-90 TP RediGO fleet, previously used for coastal patrol missions. Though the Air Force received their Texans in 2012, the Navy’s operations focus more on maritime defense and intercept missions, with the aircraft stationed across various naval air bases like Tampico, La Paz, Campeche, and Chetumal.
The T-6C+ Texan II offers the same robust performance across both services, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 engine generating 1,100 shp, with a four-bladed Hartzell Propeller HC-E4A-2. The Texan II reaches speeds of up to 316 knots and can fly up to 31,000 feet. With its external fuel tanks, it boasts an impressive range of over 1,380 nm, making it ideal for the Navy’s longer-range missions.
While their primary role is training new pilots, these Texans are also equipped for light attack missions, with six hardpoints capable of carrying bombs, rockets, and machine gun pods. This versatility makes the Texan II an essential part of SEMAR’s operations.

Last but not least with the Mexican Air Force trainers, let’s talk about the Grob G120TP, which came into service in 2015 as a replacement for the older Aermacchi F.260EU trainers. The G120TPs were chosen to upgrade the pilot training program with a more modern aircraft, featuring digital instrumentation and a sleek design. Unlike its predecessors, the G120TP sports a glossy white paint scheme with yellow accents and an eye-catching sharkmouth, breaking away from the traditional all-yellow trainer aircraft of previous decades.
Powered by a Rolls-Royce M250-B17F turboprop engine, producing 456 shp, the Grob G120TP can hit a top speed of 238 knots (440 km/h) and has a service ceiling of 25,000 feet (7,600 meters). Its endurance allows it to fly for almost five hours, making it an ideal platform for long training sessions. The aircraft is fully aerobatic and is equipped with a five-bladed propeller, ensuring smooth performance for both basic and advanced flight training. It has a side-by-side seating arrangement, allowing one pilot and an instructor to work closely during flights.
With 25 units delivered to the Mexican Air Force, the G120TPs are currently operated at the Escuela Militar de Aviación (EMA) in Zapopan, playing a key role in shaping the next generation of pilots.

Continuing with the Mexican Air Force trainers, we move forward to the early 2010s. The PC-7s had been in service for over 30 years and were starting to show their age. Since 1995, the Mexican Air Force attempted to replace the PC-7 with the newer Pilatus PC-9M, but due to Pilatus’ disagreement with the use of their trainers for combat purposes during the 1994 EZLN conflict in Chiapas, the purchase was blocked.
As a result, the Beechcraft T-6C+ Texan II, based on the PC-9M, was chosen, which the Mexican Air Force was allowed to buy. The first units started arriving in 2012, with orange empennages (like the ones in the image), marking them as advanced trainers at the Military Air Base of Santa Gertrudis in Chihuahua. Other units have camouflaged empennages matching the rest of the fuselage.
Around 60 aircraft were produced in the United States. They are equipped with two Martin Baker ejection seats for the pilot and instructor, though they can be flown by a single pilot. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 turboprop engine connected to a four-bladed Hartzell Propeller HC-E4A-2, they can reach a top speed of 316 knots and a service ceiling of 31,000 feet. They can be armed with general-purpose Mk.81 bombs of 250 lb (113 kg) or practice bombs, FN Herstal Twin Mag TMP-5 pods with dual MAG 58P 7.62 mm machine guns, FN Herstal HMP250 pods, FN Herstal LAU-68 or LAU-7H rocket launchers with 2" (70 mm) Hydra-70 unguided rockets, and Dillon Aero M134D-H Minigun 7.62 mm pods. They can also carry two external fuel tanks to extend their range, as seen in the image.

A couple of days ago, we saw the Mexican Air Force trainers perform the "Flor de Lis" formation, but we didn’t get into the details. Today, we'll start by talking about the Pilatus PC-7.
In the late 70s, the Mexican Air Force used the aging North American T-28A Trojan as its primary trainer, but these planes were nearing the end of their service life. To replace them, the Pilatus PC-7 was chosen.
Swiss-built, the PC-7 is a two-seater for an instructor and a cadet, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-25C turboprop engine connected to a three-bladed propeller. It can reach speeds of 222 knots and a maximum altitude of 33,000 feet.
A total of 88 units arrived between 1978 and 1992, initially painted in a four-tone camouflage scheme (two shades of green, sand, and blue underside), though later repainted in olive green. In Mexico, they have been fitted with single .50 caliber or double 7.62mm machine gun pods, folding-fin Hydra 70 rockets, or light bombs. This configuration was not originally offered by Pilatus and led to a commercial embargo by the company on further aircraft sales to the Mexican Air Force, a topic we’ll cover in the next post.
While still in service, since 2012 the PC-7 has been gradually replaced by the Beechcraft T-6C+ Texan II. Several aircraft have been preserved in various locations across Mexico.

Thirteen years ago today, on July 8, 2011, the Space Shuttle Atlantis was launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This historic event marked the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, closing an important chapter in space exploration.
The mission, STS-135, was the 135th and last flight of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. The mission’s primary goal was to deliver supplies and equipment to the International Space Station, ensuring that it had the necessary resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The crew also conducted scientific research and maintenance on the station.
The Space Shuttle project, initiated by NASA in the 1970s, included five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were designed to carry astronauts and cargo to space, deploy satellites, and help construct the International Space Station. Each orbiter had a unique history of missions that contributed to our understanding of space and advanced human spaceflight capabilities.
Atlantis (OV-104) was constructed in 1985 and embarked on its first mission in October of that year. Over its service life, Atlantis completed 33 missions, including the launch of the Galileo spacecraft to Jupiter and the first docking mission with the Russian space station Mir. Atlantis also played a crucial role in the assembly of the International Space Station, delivering critical modules and components.
The Space Shuttle program ended due to high operational costs and safety concerns, especially after the tragic losses of the Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. NASA decided to retire the shuttle fleet and focus on developing new spacecraft capable of traveling beyond low Earth orbit, aiming for deeper space exploration and eventual missions to Mars.

The Lufthansa 747 visits Mexico since the 1970s, making people on the capital turn their heads to the sky to admire the giantess and amazing sound of this aviation’s hall of fame member.
Popocatépetl volcano is the main actor of hundreds of legends in Mexico, it’s the most active volcano of the country and is constantly throwing fumaroles and glowing stones. It’s by far the most iconic volcano of the region and is a very important part of our culture since pre Hispanic times.
In the picture, we see the Lufthansa 747 landing with the amazing Popocatépetl volcano in the background.

Something I really like about pannings is the light lines ok the background, it seems like the Delorean of Back to the Future has got to 88 mph and now it is time traveling. Panning in the night is difficult, but also not boring, it is a challenge where you need to synchro your body with the aircraft, and that’s truly amazing.
Here you have what I like to name “A Time traveling” AeroMexico 787 while it roars at full throttle before takeoff.

After a grueling 16-hour flight from Shenzen, China Southern Airlines’ Airbus A350 touched down in Mexico. After 4 years of absence due to the pandemic, tonight its sleek livery graced the eyes of over a hundred people at ‘La Casa de la Aviación’. This connection is breaking records, being China’s longest flight and the seventh longest in the world.
Night photography poses several challenges, but even so, I managed to almost perfectly capture the beauty of this aircraft. Undoubtedly, the beacon lights are one of my favorite details in night photos.

HorizonTec Halcón II, a mexican-made experimental LSA (Light Sports Aircraft) which was presented last Saturday at Atizapan Airport, an event organized by @aireescueladevuelo in which the aircraft made an air demonstration. After some time, Halcón II has already been certified by the Federal Civil Aeronautics Agency (AFAC) as an experimental aircraft, so it’s ready to sell.

This Douglas C-47H rests at the entrance of the Atizapan Airport. It started his life with the USAF as 42-92482 being a C-47-5-DK, then it was transferred to the USN and converted to a R4D-5 and later to a C-47H, later was sold to NASA as N817NA and finally to “Omega y Servicios Aéreos Ejecutivos S.A.”.
At the end of his active life, he was stored at Guadalajara Airport where it stayed some years, but because of airport enlargements, it was moved without his wings to several locations before ending here, without engines, train and tail.
The aircraft was in an amazing condition, but sadly and because of the lack of knowledge for preserving such interesting aircraft, it has been falling apart little by little until, soon, the earth will be its new owner.

Soviet Workhorse!
This poor aircraft used to fly at SkyDive Mexico when they operated from their last location at Huexca, Morelos on a runway that no longer exists, rumors say it was damaged on a storm and left behind, but still moved to the new location at Huitzililla airfield. Now a days, the one who could be the only Antonov AN-2 in all Mexico, lies next to the runway, deteriorating every day more and more.

A day like today, but in 1960, the Lockheed-Azcarate LASA-60 performed it’s first flight.
The LASA-60 “Aeroguayin” was a light transport, able to operate from short and unpaved airstrips. The aircraft was built in Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. It’s principal user was the Mexican Air Force with 18 units, as the one seen in the picture.
Sadly, few aircraft were sold and the production was ceased in 1962, being produced between 36 and 44 units, the Air Force retired the last one in 1969.
This aircraft in particular, with the registration BRL-1018, was part of the Search, Rescue and Evacuation 209th Air Squad (EABRE 209), based in Santa Lucía Air Base.
There are two other preserved LASA’s known in Mexico, apart from the one in the picture inside the Military Aviation Museum, one inside a park at Guadalajara, Jalisco (BRL-1034) and another inside the Air Force Academy at Zapopan, Jalisco. All of them have the same blue and white scheme.
