Fuerza Aerea de Chile: Opposition to the present right-wing Chilean government by Britain continues, thus precluding any arms dealing between the two countries, particularly Hawker Siddeley Hunter spares and overhauls. Chile has therefore turned to the USA for modern combat aircraft, acquiring batches of Cessna A-37s and some Northrop F-5E, while from Brazil she has purchased transport, maritime patrol and training aircraft.
The FAC is organised into Grupos Aereos (Air Groups), each made up of one Escuadrilla or squadron (Notice one group is one sqaudron. lol. ). The prime frontline unit is Grupo 7 at Antofagsta in the north of the country, operating 15 F-5Es and three two-seat F-5F ordered in 1974 and delivered two years later. Two fighter-bomber units, Grupos 8 and 9 at the same base are equipped with 33 HS Hunter FGA.71s and five Hunter T.72 two-seaters, delivered in batches since 1967. It was revealed officially in June 1978 that as a result to lack of spares only 20 Hunters were still flying. A further two light strike Grupos No 1 at Iquique and No 12 at Punta Arenas, have the Cessna A-37Bs, with a total of 34 aircraft between them from two batches delivered in 1975 and 1977.

That's just their fighter wing. They had transport aircraft and helicopters.
Chilean Hawker Hunter.
Chilean Cessna A-37B
Chilean Northrop F-5E Freedom Fighter. You can tell it's Chilean with the blue mark at the base of its tail, which if looking closely has the white star.
Maybe you could use this as your Avatar, another F-5E of the FAC.
