Hi friends of Steemit !!

Today I am pleased to share with you what was a day full of knowledge and full of learning !! I am referring to a guided tour by "GEA N ° 18" (Aerial Training Group) at Mariscal Sucre Air Base, located in Maracay, Venezuela; Considered by many "the cradle of Venezuelan aviation"

The day began with a bit of cold and with me waking up something "late" ... (At 4:30 a.m.) Almost arriving outside the time of entry into the CIAC May. (Av) Miguel Rodríguez (Civil Aeronautics Training Center where I am being trained to be an Airplane Pilot). On arrival I was surprised that the wonderful administrative staff along with their graduates (in case they read me!) Had scheduled a tour to "GEA N ° 18" and other tours for later days. And then how not to share this with Steemit! So, here is the photos of the fantastic first day!

This is the Diamond DA-42VI Twin Star, the second plane where they do training. I could not take photos because they were in flight.

Curious Fact *: The engine was mainly Mercedes Benz then the Austrian company bought the patent and improved it.
