\n\tAIR CLUB HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n On June 16, 1949 arrived to Ushuaia City a Piper PA12 (LV-YDZ), that was commanded by the inspector Alberto Vico, member of the Civil Aviation National Direction. He was accompanied by Don Gerardo Lorenzo. This trip helps to motivate the activity.<\/p>\n

Vico was a pioneer: he had helped to create many Air Clubs in the Patagonia.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn<\/span> August 30, 1954<\/span> formally<\/span> met<\/span> a group of<\/span> aviation enthusiasts<\/span>, appointing<\/span> a “temporary committee<\/span> to represent the<\/span> group of supporters<\/span> of<\/span> the air activity<\/span> and to work for the<\/span> immediate<\/span> organization<\/span> of the entity<\/span> “.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tThe first commission<\/span> was formed<\/span> by<\/span> Francisco<\/span> RESTOVIC<\/span>,<\/span> as President<\/span>; <\/span>Vicente<\/span> PADIN<\/span> as Secretary;<\/span> and<\/span> George<\/span> Miles, as Treasurer<\/span>.<\/span> The Ushuaia Airoclub<\/span> was founded.<\/span> <\/span>On<\/span> September 5, 1954<\/span>, t<\/span>he institution<\/span> was<\/span> legally established<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\tIn 1955<\/span> the permission to operate in the local airfiel was processed<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>On<\/span> January 24, 1958<\/span> the legal status was obtained<\/span> and<\/span> the authorization<\/span> for the construction<\/span> of the first<\/span> hangar was recived.<\/span><\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tOn<\/span> May 10, 1959<\/span> was inaugurated<\/span> Flight <\/span>School<\/span> and<\/span> Training Center<\/span>with<\/span> only a<\/span> three-seat<\/span> Piper<\/span> PA<\/span>12<\/span>,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>YDU<\/span> Marti<\/span> Lawrence<\/span> and Thomas<\/span> Goodall were injured<\/span>.<\/span> In December<\/span>, the<\/span> Civil<\/span> Aviation<\/span> Instructor<\/span> Danie<\/span>l<\/span> Mini<\/span>,<\/span> in command<\/span> of a<\/span> Piper<\/span> PA<\/span>18<\/span>,<\/span> LQ<\/span>–<\/span>ZJP<\/span>; arrived so as to start the courses. This course<\/span> consisted of<\/span> the following students:<\/span> Bronzovic<\/span> Jorge<\/span> andres<\/span>,<\/span> John<\/span> Carlos<\/span> Juncosa<\/span>,<\/span> Domenc<\/span> Oriole<\/span>,<\/span> his wife<\/span> Mercedes<\/span> Elizalde<\/span> and<\/span> Carlos<\/span> Herrera<\/span>.<\/span> The<\/span> first<\/span> “solo-flight” was<\/span> Jorge<\/span> Bronsovic<\/span> (February 1960)<\/span>.<\/span> Mercedes<\/span> was<\/span> the first woman<\/span> pilot<\/span> of<\/span> Tierra del<\/span> Fuego<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tIn late 1960<\/span> began the<\/span> second year<\/span> of<\/span> courses<\/span>,<\/span> with six<\/span> students<\/span>,<\/span> among them<\/span> Antonio<\/span> Beros<\/span>,<\/span> Miguel<\/span> Pink<\/span>,<\/span> Lucia<\/span> Favale<\/span>,<\/span> Emilio<\/span> Szczepanski<\/span>,<\/span> Tomislao<\/span> Bronsovic<\/span> and Jose<\/span> Pastoriza<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On September 25, 1961, a Cessna Skywagon (LV-HSW) was purchased.<\/p>\n

\tThe last course<\/span> (supported by<\/span> the state),<\/span> was in charge of Luis<\/span> Cuniberti<\/span> (1962)<\/span>. The course was made in <\/span> a small<\/span> area<\/span> protected from winds called<\/span>“Kutalateka”<\/span> near<\/span> <\/span>Harberton<\/span> Ranch,<\/span> where<\/span> the winds are calm. Six more students became pilots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tIn 1963<\/span>another aircraft was incorporated<\/span>,<\/span> a<\/span> Cessna 172<\/span>,<\/span> registration<\/span>LV-FNV<\/span>,<\/span> by this time the Airclub had 3 aircratf<\/span>, in addition to the<\/span>   <\/span>Piper school-aircraft<\/span>.<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tBy 1964<\/span> the population<\/span> of<\/span> the south coast<\/span>,<\/span> from<\/span> Ushuaia<\/span> to Bahia<\/span> Aguirre<\/span>,<\/span> were attended<\/span> regularly by<\/span> the services provided by<\/span> the<\/span> Aeroclub<\/span>,<\/span> transporting food, medicine<\/span>news<\/span>often with a <\/span>considerable risk<\/span> due to the <\/span>characteristics<\/span> of the terrain and weather conditions<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1965, the Flight School had it own instructor: Vladimir Bronzovic, who had obtained his instructor licence. On 1967, the Gouberment confided<\/span> a twin-engine<\/span> Piper<\/span> Aztec to the<\/span> Aeroclub<\/span>,<\/span> with room for two<\/span> crew and four<\/span> passengers. <\/span><\/span>This aircraft was<\/span> symbol<\/span> of the prestige<\/span> of the institution<\/span><\/span>.<\/span> That same year the<\/span> Cessna 172<\/span> landed in<\/span> Rock Port,<\/span> United States Island<\/span>: it was the first<\/span> aircraft<\/span> that landed<\/span> there<\/span>.
\n\t 
\n\tIn October<\/span> 1968 <\/span>another<\/span> PA<\/span>-12<\/span>,<\/span> was bought (registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>YHN<\/span>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tBy <\/span>1971,<\/span> the increase of tourism<\/span> activity,<\/span> led to<\/span> a<\/span> new<\/span> activity<\/span>,<\/span> resulting in<\/span> an important source<\/span> of resources for the<\/span> club: sightseen flight, a<\/span> half hour<\/span> circuit was designed<\/span>. This<\/span> year<\/span> th Cessna 185 was replaced<\/span> by a <\/span>Cessna 206<\/span>,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>INX<\/span>,<\/span> more<\/span> suitable for<\/span> the weather conditions<\/span> of the area<\/span>.<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tIn 1973<\/span> two other aircraft<\/span> were incorporated, a<\/span> Piper<\/span> Chrokee<\/span> 140<\/span>,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>LCF<\/span> and a<\/span> Cessna<\/span> 206,<\/span> six-seat<\/span>,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>JGL<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tIn 1974 <\/span>the first<\/span> aeronautical festival was celebrated,<\/span> commemorating 20 years<\/span> of the institution and<\/span> the 15<\/span> years of the Flight School<\/span>.<\/span> At that time<\/span>.<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tIn 1978, a<\/span> Piper<\/span> PA32-300<\/span>, was included,<\/span> registration<\/span> LV-MEN<\/span>. In 1981 <\/span>to Piper<\/span> PA<\/span>28-181<\/span> Archer<\/span> II<\/span>,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>OOD<\/span> and a<\/span> Piper<\/span> Lance<\/span> PA<\/span>32<\/span>-300<\/span>RT<\/span> with<\/span> retractable landing gear<\/span> (registration<\/span> LV-<\/span>MLY) were incorporated too<\/span>.<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tDuring 1984<\/span>, the main hangar<\/span> was built,<\/span> with<\/span>625m2<\/span>. In 1985<\/span> was<\/span> named<\/span> “<\/span>Pilot<\/span> Mario<\/span> Marconcini<\/span>“<\/span> who was an <\/span>aviation pioneer<\/span> in Tierra del Fuego.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tIn 1986 a<\/span> twin-engine<\/span> Cessna 310<\/span>,<\/span> registration<\/span> LV-<\/span>LSH<\/span> was bought. A worckshop<\/span>The house, storage<\/span> room<\/span> ,<\/span> bathroom<\/span>, and pilot office were built.
\n\t 
\n\tIn 1994<\/span> another aircraft<\/span> Piper<\/span> Cherokee<\/span> PA<\/span>-28<\/span>-140,<\/span> registration LV<\/span>–<\/span>LZF<\/span> for school was bought.<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tIn 1997<\/span> the<\/span> Aeroclub<\/span> faced a<\/span> difficult<\/span> situation<\/span> of having to<\/span> dismantle<\/span> and<\/span> move their<\/span> valuable<\/span> facilities (located at<\/span> the<\/span> Naval<\/span> Base<\/span>) due to the<\/span> Navy project<\/span> to build<\/span> an integrated<\/span> base there<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tThe history of the<\/span> Aeroclub<\/span> Ushuaia<\/span> daily<\/span> builds<\/span>.<\/span> We,<\/span> the members and<\/span> managers<\/span>, have the<\/span> firm<\/span> intention<\/span> to<\/span> never end<\/span> it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
