FAA Skyhawk Crashed in 1996
On June 23, 1994, during a training flight, the Argentine Air Force A-4B Skyhawk, registered as C-209, suffered an engine failure while flying over the mountainous region of the Salar de Tolillar in the province of Salta. The pilot, then-Captain Oscar Charadía, attempted to restart the engine without success. When the ejection system failed, he managed to execute an emergency landing in the salar, surviving the incident.
Over the years, the aircraft's remains have remained at the crash site. In 2019, a group of motorcyclists, accompanied by now-Brigadier Major Oscar Charadía, traveled to the site to pay tribute and place a new Argentine flag on the wreckage.
Although no specific videos of the aircraft in the Salar de Tolillar have been found, images and testimonies document the current state of the wreckage and the visits made to the site.
