軍事航空
Military aviation in Uruguay was born on 17 March 1913 when the Military Aviation Academy ("Escuela de Aviación Militar") was formed at a small airport 50 km from Montevideo. The first aircraft were a Farman Longhorn biplane and a Blériot XI monoplane. As with many other Latin American countries, flight instruction was initially performed by a European (in this case French) instructor. Ten army officers formed the select group chosen to be the first Uruguayan military aviators.
