A series of low passes done with an airliner 727 few meters over the people attending the airshow.

These were at the Campos Afonsos Air Force Base, Rio,
where resides our amazing aircrafts national museum.
<Isto se deu na Base Áerea dos Afonsos, no Rio, onde
fica nosso maravilhoso museu da aviação>

 
Here you see the moment of the attack... just joking.
Note: Not one time the plane actually landed there.
<Este foi o momento do ataque... brincadeirinha
Obs: Nenhuma vez ele pousou, apenas fez rasantes>

 
 
The Zeppelin airship passing by the Sugar-Loaf in Rio during its usual flight between Frankfurt-Rio in the '30s.

This hangar, still perfect today and in use by our air force fighters was built in the 30's to house the Zeppelin. It is
unique in the world and stays in Santa Cruz Air Force Base, Rio de Janeiro State, an hour distant by car from Rio city.
 
In the southest State of Brazil, there is nowadays a restored DC-3 doing tourist flights over the city.
<Este DC-3 foi restaurado pelo Aeroclube do Rio Grande do Sul e faz vôos turísticos sobre a cidade>

 
The crew is dressed typically as it was in the '50s and the
plane also uses its former painting scheme.
<A tripulação veste uniforme típico da época e a
aeronave utiliza a mesma pintura dos anos 50>
Although all the airplane's components were restored, as its engines and flight systems, it was added some modern navigational systems by demand of the Brazilian Aviation Control agency.
<Apesar de todas os componentes da aeronave terem sido restaurados, como motores e sistemas de vôo, ela recebeu a modernização de alguns equipamentos de navegação por exigência do DAC>
