With all the solemnity of which is strictly ("ah, rigor, say the Worthy) unified the nation in two pieces (each piece together by your side) has just witnessed the splendor of the glorious anniversaries of November 27, 1992 that, say its creators, "was a futile action since the military point of view " and also from other angles, which some analysts irreverent, fit in many more. Very rightly, the date was chosen to mark the birth Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB) that once carried the tub baptismal has replaced the outdated Venezuelan Air Force (FAV) . Let us not go unnoticed the righteous historical reparation to be made to the aircraft which did not have a national day ephemeris consistent with its high flight. See if you do not: Army Day coincides with the commemoration of the Battle of Carabobo. Navy Day in Naval Battle of Lake Maracaibo. Now the Aviation Day coincides with the admirable feat of 27-N that while it was "fruitless from the military standpoint, was really great, especially if the boss says.
What is undeniable is that resonant epic that shook the rotten, decayed, rusty and grimy structures that supported to power up then. How would not shake with the famous F-16 ripping the skies over Caracas on the speed of sound? That was the most salient fact of that day. Know that the thermodynamic definition of the speed of sound, to any medium, is a ² = (dp / dρ) s. That is, the partial derivative of pressure with respect to density at constant entropy. Please memorize the formula because if not, will not understand the rest of the chronicle. Thanks.
auditory I witnessed this epic, whose memory haunted me intensely for two weeks, until it disappeared buzzing eardrums. And is that when a plane breaks the sound barrier because, so help me God, if this sound like the vault of heaven burst asunder. Hence, on Saturday, with pinpoint accuracy, the Tunneler, sorry, he is referring to the fact quoting the words of the poet Vicente Huidobro: "I made a great noise and this noise formed the ocean and ocean waves. This noise will always be attached to the waves of the sea and the waves will always attached to him, as the stamps on the postcards. " What would Huidobro muses that day?
also quite rightly said: "Eagle Squawk raging, dagger tapered regained hope was that loud noise (...) November 27 that caused the F-16 (...) unleashing waves of our revolution. "
I remember like it was yesterday. He lived in a small apartment on the corner of Delicias, just two blocks behind the White Palace and the Palace of Miraflores. By midmorning, overlooking the balcony I could see the parade of planes falling insurgents were leaving, graneaditas, bomb after bomb on the premises of the seat of government, to the north, south, west, but without either the palace or white, like those ball players Creole gather and not much less ball.
suddenly came that horrible noise, a huge roar, an explosion of millions of decibels that shook the valley of Caracas, and I think that of Cauca. Amid the confusion, I heard the door butts. There were kicks, was the neighbor on the verge of a nervous breakdown:
- Neighbor, what has happened! - Yelled shaking me by the front of his pajamas.
- That threw a bomb at Gocho! - Responded to the calculation, since the crash.
- can not be because we too would be dead! - Continued shouting
- Yes it may be because these soldiers are faked!
And I was right. There was no accurate or even a bomb fell on an undeveloped corner bodega de Pineda, two blocks east of the CAP office. You can see the bullet when it was unearthed after two days of work. In the top brought a can of milk skewered "The Countryside", which at that time itself was achieved.
never knew why that warrior from the air, The closest we had to emulate the legendary Red Baron, decided to shatter the sound barrier. That really struck the popular imagination. A parishioner claimed to have seen me fall boronitas made.
What nobody expected was that this driver was waiting for a political career also supersonic, meteor, lightning, constituent, Congressman, governor, minister for urban development, health, the presidency and what is missing.
was prescient: what a pity that the revolution has remained just that: a huge noise, but zero nuts.(Published in the newspaper Tal Cual on Sunday December 5, 2010)
